Inadequate Nursing Home Security

Lynn Massachusetts Nursing Home Security Attorneys

We trust nursing homes and senior living facilities to provide our loved ones with a safe and secure environment. However, injuries, assaults, and even deaths occur when nursing homes fail to install or maintain proper personal security measures. At the law office of Mazow|McCullough, P.C. in Lynn Massachusetts, our attorneys hold nursing homes and assisted living facilities financially liable for patient injuries that result from negligent security measures. Working with private investigators and security experts, we interview witnesses, staff, review video footage if cameras are installed, and carefully look at the backgrounds of employees in the nursing home facility. Our lawyers review copies of sign-in books, request copies of records to indicate who had keys to the facility, and meticulously look for any lapse in management or oversight that played a role in the attack and the injuries suffered by your loved one.

Don't let a negligent nursing home avoid responsibility for their lack of preventative action or security failure - contact the negligent nursing home security lawyers at the law office of Mazow|McCullough, P.C. today and schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.

Determining Liability for Nursing Home Attacks

It's not uncommon for nursing homes to deny responsibility for rapes, assaults and other criminal attacks that occur on their premises. Most nursing home operators will claim they did everything reasonably possible to deter or prevent crime from happening in their facility. At Mazow|McCullough, P.C., our attorneys identify security failures ranging from lack of a front desk policy to check in visitors to kitchen doors left ajar on hot days to hiring employees with criminal convictions on their record.
