We’ve done lots of cases in Riverside. I remember there was a case a few years ago we had involving an elderly man who was in a skilled nursing facility in Riverside. He was there for rehabilitation. He was only supposed to be a short-term resident, and there simply wasn’t enough staff to care for him. And they weren’t giving him the services he needed. They would leave him on a commode for hours at a time. Not long afterwards, he gave some testimony on video and he was discussing the issues with that. He actually had very powerful testimony talking about how just demeaning it was being left on a commode for hours at a time. There was nothing he could do. He just had to sit there and wait. He would frequently press the call light button, ask for help, but no one would come.
We work with a large number of experts who specialize in skilled nursing facilities, geriatrics, and a number of the other issues that may come up in these cases: urology, orthopedic surgeons. And we work with them to determine the best course of action to determine the injuries and to determine what went wrong at these facilities. If you or a loved one were injured at a skilled nursing facility in Riverside, feel free to contact Lanzone Morgan and we’ll provide you with a free consultation.
