Seattle Nursing Home Abuse Attorney 

At the Law Office of Joanne Werner, we provide representation to victims of nursing home abuse and negligence in Seattle. Sadly, there are many forms of abuse that can occur in nursing homes, places that are supposed to be safe and free of harm. It is very important that legal action be taken in the event of negligence or abuse, and a Seattle personal injury attorney from our law office will do just that.

Approximately 2.5 million American citizens live in nursing homes across the country and many will suffer malnutrition, dehydration, infections, bedsores, physical abuse, or medical negligence during their stays. Poorly managed, some nursing homes neglect to provide proper care and attention to residents and this is sad and unfortunate. Lacking adequate staffing, proper training, and necessary equipment, some nursing homes simply do not measure up to the standards of care that should be provided.
