Our Services
Catastrophic Injuries. Wrongful
Death. Real Accountability.
New York nursing homes that ignore warning signs and understaff their floors cause devastating, irreversible harm. Tosh Law Firm handles the serious cases and gives them everything we’ve got.
Cases We Handle
Medication Errors
Giving the wrong medication, skipping doses, or overmedicating residents is dangerous and far more common than families realize. These mistakes are often tied to understaffing, poor supervision, and rushed care. We handle New York nursing home cases involving serious injuries, hospitalizations, strokes, bleeding events, and deaths caused by medication errors.
Sepsis & Infection
A simple infection should not turn into a life-threatening emergency. But when nursing homes ignore wounds, bed sores, urinary infections, or signs of illness, sepsis can spread quickly through the body. We handle cases where delayed treatment, poor monitoring, and neglect caused catastrophic infections, amputations, organ failure, or wrongful death.
Wandering and Elopement
Residents with dementia or cognitive decline require supervision. When a resident wanders unsupervised or leaves a facility unnoticed, the consequences can be devastating. We handle New York wandering and elopement cases involving falls, exposure injuries, traffic accidents, drownings, and deaths caused by nursing homes failing to properly monitor residents.
Burns
Burn injuries in nursing homes are often preventable. Residents can suffer serious harm from scalding bath water, heating devices, smoking materials, or neglected medical equipment. Elderly skin is fragile and burns quickly. We handle cases involving severe pain, infections, permanent scarring, hospitalization, and fatal burn-related complications in New York.
Bed Sores & Pressure Injuries
Bed sores do not happen overnight. They usually develop when residents are left in bed or wheelchairs for long periods without repositioning, cleaning, hydration, or basic care. We handle New York pressure injury cases involving infected wounds, exposed bone, sepsis, amputations, and deaths tied to chronic understaffing and neglect.
Choking & Clogged Breathing Tubes
Many nursing home residents have swallowing problems, breathing tubes, or conditions requiring close monitoring during meals and treatment. When staff fail to supervise properly, residents can choke or suffer blocked airways. We handle New York cases involving oxygen deprivation, brain injuries, emergency hospitalization, and preventable deaths.
Malnutrition & Dehydration
Rapid weight loss, dehydration, weakness, and confusion are major warning signs in nursing homes. Many residents rely completely on staff for meals, hydration, and feeding assistance. When facilities fail to provide basic nutrition and fluids, residents suffer. We handle New York cases involving malnutrition, dehydration, infections, organ failure, and wrongful death.
Neglect
Neglect is not always dramatic at first. Sometimes it looks like unanswered call lights, poor hygiene, missed medications, repeated falls, or residents left sitting in urine for hours. Over time, the damage becomes severe. We handle New York nursing home neglect cases involving systemic understaffing, preventable injuries, emotional trauma, and avoidable deaths.
Physical & Chemical Restraints
Nursing homes cannot legally restrain residents simply because supervision requires more staff and effort. Yet some facilities still use sedating drugs or physical restraints to control residents for convenience. We handle New York cases involving overmedication, unlawful restraints, asphyxiation injuries, and deaths caused by dangerous restraint practices and neglect.
Physical & Sexual Assault
No resident should ever suffer abuse inside a nursing home. Unfortunately, assaults by staff members happen more often than families realize. We handle New York cases involving hitting, rough handling, sexual abuse, intimidation, unexplained injuries, and facilities failing to protect vulnerable residents from known risks, dangerous employees, or violent residents.
Slip & Fall Accidents
Falls in nursing homes are common, but many are preventable with proper supervision, staffing, care plans, and safety measures. Residents suffer broken hips, brain injuries, spinal injuries, and complications that they never recover from. We handle New York fall cases involving ignored risk assessments, unsafe conditions, and chronic understaffing inside facilities.
Wrongful Death
Some nursing home failures end in tragedy. We handle wrongful death cases involving severe neglect, untreated infections, falls, choking incidents, medication errors, dehydration, and abuse that should never have happened. Families deserve answers when a nursing home’s decisions, shortcuts, or staffing failures contribute to the death of a loved one.
