Indianapolis Nursing Home Injury Attorneys
Seeking Protection & Justice for Vulnerable Loved Ones
As our population gets older, more people will rely on nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to provide their health care. Like other medical professionals, nursing home staff members are expected to maintain a certain level of care to protect the people living in their facility. Sadly, abuse and nursing home injuries are not uncommon.
Nursing home injuries can occur because of failure to maintain the required level of care. This level of negligence can lead to bedsores, also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers, malnutrition, falls and broken bones, and abuse. In many cases, negligence occurs as a result of inadequate training, lack of supervision, inadequate staffing, or improper hiring practices.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of nursing home injuries, or have been injured by negligent conduct in a nursing home, it is important to act quickly to protect your rights.
Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
Abuse and neglect can be both physical and mental. Nursing home abuse and neglect can be found in a number of areas:
- Improper nutrition and hydration
- Poor personal hygiene
- Medication errors
- Inadequate fall protection
- Call button not in reach or not working
- Turning orders for bed-bound residents not followed
- Leaving a resident in soiled garments for extended periods of time
- Physical striking of a resident
- Inappropriate restraint of a resident
- Verbal abuse
- Ignoring a complaint or punishing a resident for making a complaint
- Withholding medical care
- Sexual assault or rape of a resident
- Taking money or other personal property

The best lawyer office around. Rick my attorney was very helpful and acted fast on my case to get things handled in a great timely manner. A very nice and friendly person plus did an excellent job with my case. Went above and beyond for me. Everyone that I spoke to in this office was always nice and answered all my questions in a timely matter, if there were unavailable I did not wait long for them to get back in touch with me. If anyone is ever in need of a lawyer for any of these types of cases this is the best law firm to choose. The rating is well above a 5-star.- donna wilsongoshen, IN -
"The firm's personnel & Nick are prompt with urgent matters & conduct business in an honest way."
Nick Deets is an Indiana Super Lawyer for a reason... Nick is a great family friend but when dealing with legal matters you still want to get the maximum outcome, regardless of personal relationships and I was VERY pleasantly surprised with the result of my case. The firm's personnel and Nick are prompt with urgent matters, conduct business in an honest way, and the bottom line is they get the job done. I highly recommend him for any legal matter in their wheelhouse and if that isn't enough research their awards, it speaks for itself.- Nicholas V. -

"Words can not express how exceptional Rick Hovde and Kelly Faulk are in the Field of Medical Malpractice"
Words can not express how exceptional Rick Hovde and Kelly Faulk are in the field of Medical Malpractice. I had a back surgery that left me with a permanent disability. I contacted a personal injury law firm who recommended Rick Hovde of Hovde Dassow + Deets. Thank God for thier recommendation. In my opinion Rick Hovde and his assistant Kelly Faulk are the best in the field of Medical Malpractice. Rick and Kelly helped me every step of the way through a difficult at best process from start to finish. Rick and Kelly helped keep me on track and we not only won the case Rick was able to get the maximum settlement allowed by Indiana State Law. I would highly recommend Rick Hovde to anyone. He gets a five star plus rating from me. Bob D.- Bob DHamlet, IN
