New York Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect Lawyer

Your loved one deserves dignity and respect. If a nursing home failed to provide it, we’ll fight for accountability and justice.

Protecting your loved ones from harm

Families place deep trust in nursing homes and skilled care facilities, expecting their loved ones to receive safety, dignity, and medical attention. Unfortunately, some facilities betray that trust through negligence or outright abuse. Mason Law PLLC provides dedicated representation for victims of nursing home malpractice in New York City, standing up for elders across Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg. Our mission is simple: protect seniors’ rights and hold facilities accountable.

What counts as nursing home abuse or neglect?

Abuse and neglect in nursing homes can take many forms, including:

• Physical abuse such as hitting, rough handling, or unnecessary restraints
  
• Emotional or verbal abuse through threats, humiliation, or isolation
  
• Sexual abuse or harassment
  
• Financial exploitation by staff or outsiders with access
  
• Neglect leading to bedsores, malnutrition, dehydration, medication errors, or falls due to lack of supervision
  

When care facilities fail their residents, we step in to fight for safety, accountability, and meaningful compensation for the harm caused.

Common signs of nursing home neglect

Families often uncover abuse through warning signs such as:

• Unexplained bruises, cuts, or fractures
• Sudden weight loss or malnutrition
• Bedsores (pressure ulcers)
• Frequent falls or broken bones
• Poor hygiene or unchanged clothing
• Emotional withdrawal, fearfulness, or unusual behavior
• Staff refusing private conversations with residents

If you see these signs, it’s time to act. Recognizing forms of misconduct is the first step in protecting a vulnerable family member.

Legal rights of nursing home residents

New York residents are protected by state and federal regulations, including the Nursing Home Bill of Rights. Facilities must provide proper medical care, ensure safety, and respect dignity. If a facility violates these duties, families may bring a civil lawsuit for negligence or abuse. Beyond seeking compensation, these claims can encourage systemic changes that improve conditions for other residents.

How Mason Law PLLC can help

Our approach to elder abuse cases involves:

• Reviewing facility records, staffing levels, and medical charts
  
• Investigating prior violations or complaints against the facility
  
• Interviewing staff, residents, and witnesses
  
• Consulting elder care specialists and medical experts
  
  

At Mason Law PLLC, we understand these cases are highly emotional. Families often feel guilt or anger, and residents may be frightened to speak up. Our calm and compassionate style ensures that both clients and their loved ones feel supported during the process.

Holding negligent facilities accountable

Bringing a claim against a negligent nursing home not only provides compensation for medical care and suffering but also pressures the facility to make necessary changes. This accountability protects others and can prevent future abuse. Mason Law PLLC remains engaged with elder rights advocacy and keeps current with evolving nursing home regulations in New York.
