No one ever expects a family member or friend to suffer abuse or neglect in a New Jersey nursing home. Unfortunately, it happens every day in many different ways.
Because nursing home residents are vulnerable, families rely on these facilities to provide proper care, safety, and dignity. Sadly, some facilities fail in this responsibility. Nursing home negligence in New Jersey can include failing to protect residents from health and safety hazards. This negligence may result in serious injuries such as broken bones, bedsores or pressure ulcers, dehydration, malnutrition, and other medical conditions that cause long-term harm—or even death.
Our New Jersey nursing home abuse attorneys fight to recover the compensation you and your loved one deserve. With years of experience handling these sensitive cases, we carefully assess each situation and prepare for either settlement or trial. Our goal is to secure compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other losses—while holding negligent facilities accountable.
The Stark & Stark nursing home negligence team combines compassion with aggressive advocacy. Our attorneys have successfully recovered millions for clients across New Jersey. Whether through trial or favorable settlement, we aim to make the process as stress-free as possible while delivering results that matter.
The Stark & Stark Nursing Home Litigation Group will explain your loved one’s legal rights and aggressively pursue justice whenever our investigation reveals negligence. Our attorneys handle cases involving abuse, neglect, and medical errors, seeking compensation for medical costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. When negligence leads to a tragic loss, we can pursue a wrongful death claim, and because many cases overlap with medical malpractice, we work closely with our broader New Jersey personal injury lawyers to maximize recovery and hold facilities accountable.
Nursing home negligence occurs when a facility fails to protect residents from health and safety hazards. This can include inadequate medical care, poor supervision, or unsafe living conditions, leading to injuries such as bedsores, dehydration, malnutrition, or broken bones.
Warning signs include unexplained injuries, bedsores, sudden weight loss, poor hygiene, changes in mood or behavior, dehydration, and frequent infections. Any unusual or suspicious conditions should be taken seriously and investigated.
Yes. If a nursing home’s negligence caused harm to a resident, you may pursue legal action to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages. An experienced nursing home abuse attorney can guide you through the process.
Compensation may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and damages for emotional distress. In severe cases involving wrongful death, families may also recover funeral costs and other related damages with the help of a dedicated New Jersey wrongful death attorney.
Not always. Many cases are resolved through settlements outside of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, experienced attorneys will prepare the case for trial to secure the compensation victims and families deserve.
A lawyer investigates the incident, gathers evidence, advises you of your rights, negotiates with the facility or insurers, and, if necessary, takes the case to court to hold negligent parties accountable.
Yes. Every state has statutes of limitations that restrict how long you have to file a claim. Acting quickly ensures your rights are protected and important evidence is preserved.
