Nursing Home Abuse: Scalding Burn Injury Case
When you talk to the aging population about their biggest fears in the aging process, it seems like many fear being placed into nursing homes when they can no longer care for themselves and it becomes too hard on their families to do the same.  Family members also have signfiicant fears that their loved ones will not be properly cared for and may even be abused in the nrusing facility.  All too often, we hear of instances when in fact this nightmare actually becomes reality. 
A recent case in San Mateo, California just settled for a woman senior citizen who suffered scalding burn injuries while she was seated in a shower with the temperature set at 145 degrees.  The patient suffered third degree burns over sixty percent of her body.  Incredibly, the nursing home disputed liability until just before jury selection, when they finally anted up and settled the case.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
