Nursing Home Injuries

Much of the firm's practice focuses on litigation involving nursing homes, specifically nursing home abuse, nursing home negligence, and nursing home neglect, on behalf of current and deceased nursing home residents in addition to residents who suffered wrongful death as the result of abuse or negligence. Ed Fox & Associates, Ltd. aggressively pursues these cases, with the aim of obtaining relief for current residents or their relatives when the resident is deceased, and preventing further abuses.

Some of the many types of nursing home cases for which our Chicago nursing home abuse lawyers have filed complaints in court include ones in which there was neglect leading the development of bed sores, ones in which a nurse gave the wrong medication, ones in which the nursing home failed to have sufficient fall prevention policies in effect, ones in which residents were permitted to wander off the premises resulting in injury, ones in which nurses permitted a resident to become dehydrated, and ones in which nursing homes failed to protect its residents from sexual or physical abuse. The firm has also successfully litigated medical malpractice cases, including those occurring at the Veteran’s Affair hospitals (also known as the VA). Ed Fox & Associates, Ltd. have experience in litigating all of these and more kinds of cases.

Many times, Ed Fox & Associates, Ltd. have taken on employment cases to help clients with a severance package, or address wrongdoing by an employee’s union because of a breach of the duty of fair representation. Other cases include those brought under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and First Amendment violations (also known as Shakman violations) concerning terminations because of political affiliation or speaking out on a matter of public interest.
