Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse - Unfortunately, nursing home neglect and abuse is an all too-common occurrence in our society. Frequently, these cases involve understaffed facilities that do not meet the residents' basic care needs. Often, facilities put too much responsibility on unlicensed nursing assistants, and fail to supervise them with licensed nursing personnel, leading to injuries involving suspicious circumstances. Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse cases are a particular area of focus for The Manton Law Firm, LLC, because we strongly believe in fighting for the rights of the elderly. If you suspect that a nursing home resident has suffered serious injury or death due to neglect or abuse, please contact us, and we'll help give you the answers you need.

Bedsores/Pressure Sores/Decubitus Ulcers - Bedsores (also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers) are almost always preventable in elder and long-term care facilities. If proper care is provided, failure to frequently turn and position residents, malnutrition and dehydration, infrequent bathing and cleaning, and residents left with soiled sheets or clothing is preventable. Our firm has extensive experience in evaluating and handling these cases in nursing homes, hospitals and home nursing agency situations.

Medical Malpractice - Medical community studies have shown that between 44,000 and 99,000 people die a year from preventable medical errors. Many times these medical malpractice incidents go unreported, and families of the victims never realize that loved ones died due to preventable carelessness or mistakes such as failure to diagnose a serious medical condition in time, prescription drug errors, or foreign objects left in a patient's body after surgery. Preventable medical mistakes may result in permanent physical impairment from paralysis, loss of sight, loss of function, or forced amputation, to death. At The Manton Law Firm, LLC, an experienced lawyer will carefully screen each potential medical malpractice claim to ensure we take only strong cases that benefit clients.

Birth Injury - Birth injuries such as shoulder dystocia, Erb's palsy, cerebral palsy, or oxygen deprivation resulting in stillbirth are often found to have been caused by negligence of healthcare providers in delivering the newborn child. These injuries are often preventable if the medical provider heeds the proper warning signs, and a failure to do so can have devastating consequences to the newborn child or the mother.

Surgical Errors - Mistakes during surgery are another common example of preventable medical malpractice. When surgeons, operating room nurses and anesthesiologists fail to follow established medical standards of care, patients can pay the price; sometimes with their lives. Our firm has the background and resources to address unneeded or wrong-site surgeries and other surgical mistakes.

Auto Accidents - Compensation for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, future expenses, and permanent injury does not put an individual or family who has suffered the consequences of a serious car or truck accident back in the same position as they were before the accident. However, monetary damages can help injured victims and their families, even when their injury or loss as the result of an auto product liability matter. The attorneys at The Manton Law Firm, LLC, have handled hundreds of automobile accident and related cases, contact us to learn more.

Trucking Accidents - Cases involving commercial vehicles, eighteen-wheelers, tractor trailers and other such vehicles are a unique area of practice that require more detailed investigation than non-commercial motor vehicle accidents. There are many federal regulations that govern commercial vehicles and tractor-trailer operators. If you have been injured in an accident involving a commercial vehicle or tractor trailer, please contact us at once so we can prevent valuable evidence from being lost or destroyed.

Motorcycle Accidents - From consulting with motorcycle crash reconstruction experts to overcoming a jury prejudices about riders, a personal injury attorney at our firm knows how to effectively address the special circumstances in a motorcycle accident case. We also handle similar cases involving bicycle accidents, handling all the unique issues involving injury or death for professional and recreational riders.

Insurance Claim Concerns - Regardless of what kind of negligent injury or loss someone faces, it's important to remember that insurance companies do not work for people. Their job is to save themselves money, often at a victim's expense. Jason R. Manton is a committed to helping clients fight back against denied claims, even from their own insurance carrier, and collect the compensation they rightfully paid for.
