The difficult decision to place a loved one in a nursing home or elder care is made with the assumption that they will be kept safe and receive proper care. Abuse of any sort — medical, emotional, financial, and even unexplainable injury — is a deep betrayal of that trust.

Product liability cases involve injuries incurred when someone uses a product, like a prescription drug, industrial machine, or medical device and that product fails. Many times, these products do not warn you of the potential dangers associated with them or worse, fail to warn you at all.
