Attorneys Assisting Clients with Rehabilitation Facility Lawsuits in Cook County and DuPage County

When elderly individuals are recovering from an injury or health condition and require short-term care, they are often referred to a rehabilitation facility. Many Illinois nursing homes include rehab centers where patients are treated for various health issues. Unfortunately, a large number of these centers are poorly managed or short-staffed, which leads to substandard care and can endanger the safety of the patients. If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to negligence or abuse at a rehab facility, you may be entitled to compensation.

The nursing home team at Schwartz Injury Law has several years of experience successfully representing clients in rehab facility lawsuits. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge of this area of the law and what it takes to prevail against even the most well-funded adversaries. We have seen nearly every issue that may arise in a nursing home, assisted living facility, or rehabilitation center, and we know how to quickly identify important and often overlooked factors that may indicate neglect or abuse on the part of the facility.

Rehab Facility Lawsuits in Illinois

Elderly patients at rehabilitation centers are treated for a wide range of health conditions. Some of the most common include:

• Alzheimer's and dementia
• Skin disorders
• Blood disorders
• Neoplasms
• Disorders affecting the circulatory system
• Respiratory disorders
• Digestive system disorders
• Nervous system disorders
• Mental illness

Due to inadequate staffing, poorly trained staff, and similar problems, rehab facility patients are susceptible to numerous forms of negligence and abuse, such as:

• Bed sores
• Infections
• Malnutrition and dehydration
• Falls and fractures
• Wandering and elopement
• Physical abuse
• Medication errors
• Lack of adequate medical care

Rehab facility lawsuits are often highly complicated, due to multiple factors that contribute to negligence or abuse, many of which occur over an extended period of time. For this reason, it is important to work with lawyers who have an in-depth understanding of this area of the law.
