Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers in Buffalo, NY

Entrusting a loved one to the care of a nursing home is often a very difficult decision. When a care provider at a nursing home causes harm or injury to a resident, it can be an extremely upsetting event for both the resident and the resident’s family.
