Nursing Home Medical Malpractice

Nursing home infections are not inevitable — they’re often the result of neglect, poor hygiene, and understaffing. When basic care breaks down, bacteria spread through wounds, catheters, or unclean equipment, leading to dangerous conditions like sepsis. Understanding how and why these infections occur helps families recognize signs of neglect and demand better protection for their loved ones.

Many nursing home falls are not accidents but preventable tragedies caused by ignored alarms, poor supervision, or short staffing. When a resident suffers a brain bleed or serious injury after a fall, families deserve answers and accountability. The Law Office of Andrew A. Ballerini helps New Jersey families uncover the truth, demand justice, and make long-term care safer for their loved ones.

Delayed emergency response in nursing homes can turn treatable conditions into life-threatening crises. When staff fail to act quickly after a fall, stroke, or infection, residents face preventable harm — and families are often left without clear answers. Understanding how and why these delays occur helps families recognize signs of neglect and take steps to protect their loved ones.

The most common New Jersey nursing home complaints involve neglect, poor staffing, and lack of communication. Learn why these problems are preventable and how families can hold facilities accountable.

When care slips into neglect, the consequences can be life-altering. If your loved one in a New Jersey nursing home shows signs of unexplained injury, fear, or poor hygiene, it may be more than a mistake—it may be neglect.

Nursing home negligence in New Jersey occurs when a facility fails to provide basic care, supervision, or medical attention, leading to preventable harm. State laws like N.J.A.C. 8:39 and the Adult Protective Services Act set the standards. Common signs include bedsores, falls, and sudden health declines.
