Nursing Home Litigation
Nursing home and long-term care facilities in South Dakota are charged with providing the highest levels of medical and personal care for their residents. Unfortunately, too many nursing homes try to cut corners with personal care and treatment costs, leaving elderly and infirm residents vulnerable to personal injuries resulting from improper care and medical negligence.
Most residents of long-term care facilities are unable or unwilling to speak up to protect themselves. If you have an elderly or infirm loved one who you suspect may be the victim of negligence or abuse at the hands of staff or another resident in a nursing home anywhere in South Dakota, call Johnson Janklow Abdallah, LLP, for a no-cost case evaluation.

- Improper care, poor hygiene and skin care resulting in bedsores
- Malnutrition

- Intentional infliction of physical harm or unexplained injuries
