Nursing Home Abuse & Injury

Nursing Home Abuse, Negligence, & Injuries

Leaving your loved one in the care of a nursing home facility requires that you trust the treatment and supervision of the providers. It is devastating to discover that your parent, grandparent, or other relative was injured, abused, or even fatally neglected while in the care of a nursing home facility. At Freking & Betz, LLC, we handle claims on behalf of the victims and families of nursing home abuse and negligence.

If your loved one suffered or was injured, you deserve compensation. We will work to recover a significant verdict or settlement and penalize those individuals responsible for injuries caused by abuse or neglect.
