Philadelphia firm PA Nursing Home Lawyers widens elder abuse and neglect work
The Philadelphia firm said it is expanding its elder abuse and neglect caseload and will continue taking cases across Pennsylvania.
PA Nursing Home Lawyers, a Philadelphia firm that handles civil claims on behalf of nursing home and assisted living residents, announced that it is widening the range of elder abuse and neglect cases it takes on across Pennsylvania.
The firm said the broader focus covers physical abuse, emotional neglect, medication errors, falls tied to inadequate supervision, and failures in medical care planning. It works only on civil actions involving nursing home abuse, neglect, and related violations of elder care law, representing both individual residents and groups of residents from the same facility.
"Elder abuse cases require persistent advocacy and a careful understanding of both medical and institutional standards. Our firm remains dedicated to holding facilities accountable and ensuring that the voices of elderly residents are heard within the justice system," said Leonard P. Haberman, Esq., Principal Attorney, PA Nursing Home Lawyers.
The firm said its attorneys routinely review facility inspection reports, staffing logs, medical records, and witness statements, looking for patterns that show whether a facility followed required safety protocols and resident care obligations.
The announcement pointed to understaffing, weak oversight, and gaps in care standards that regulators and advocacy groups have flagged as the demand for long-term care grows with an aging population. Beyond money damages, the firm said lawsuits can push facilities to change operations and policies, draw closer attention from regulators, and lead to improvements that benefit residents statewide.
PA Nursing Home Lawyers also said many cases of mistreatment are never reported because families are afraid, confused, or unaware of what the law allows, and that it works to help families recognize warning signs and understand their options under Pennsylvania law.
The firm operates from its main office at 1800 John F. Kennedy Blvd, Suite 1500-B, Philadelphia, PA, and represents clients throughout the state. It can be reached at (215) 240-7771.
