NURSING HOME ABUSE AND NEGLECT:
If you are dealing with the injury or even death of a loved one as a result of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect, you are not alone. At the law offices of Prieto, Marigliano, Holbert & Prieto, LLC., we hold residential and long-term care providers responsible for injury, illness and death caused by negligent or substandard care. With offices conveniently throughout Ge
orgia (locations in Atlanta, Cartersville, Calhoun, Dallas, Dalton and Savannah), we represent clients throughout the Southeastern United States. If your loved one has suffered bed sores, urinary tract infections, slip and fall injuries or wrongful death, you need an attorney who has experience battling the nursing home industry. As a result, finding and choosing a nursing home for our elderly loved ones has become commonplace in many of our lives. Unfortunately, some of these elder care facilities have become adept at hiding evidence of neglect and shielding themselves from liability. Additionally, the nursing home industry itself uses complex methods of incorporation and liability insurance loopholes in an attempt to avoid financial responsibility for their negligence. AUTO ACCIDENTS AND TRUCK ACCIDENTS:
Personal injuries resulting from auto accidents are, unfortunately, a common occurrence. Determining who is at fault in an auto accident is a matter of deciding who was negligent. People who operate automobiles must exercise "reasonable care under the circumstances." A failure to use reasonable care is considered negligence. A person who negligently operates a vehicle may be required to pay for any damages, either to a person or property, caused by his or her negligence. The injured party, known as the Plaintiff, is required to prove that the Defendant was negligent, that the negligence was a proximate cause of the accident, and that the accident caused the Plaintiff's injuries. Issues of fault can be complicated by who acted when and which laws governed the situation. If the other driver was negligent, you may have to prove that the driver breached a duty of care to you and that the breach caused your damages. The assistance of an attorney can be immensely valuable at this time. Contact the Auto Accident Attorneys at Prieto, Marigliano, Holbert & Prieto, LLC., to schedule a consultation with an experienced attorney. Our attorneys have over 100 years of experience and will help you determine who was at fault for your accident. Trucking Accidents often lead to very serious personal injuries and death and frequently involve multiple vehicles and victims. A highly qualified firm that has experience in difficult injury cases, as the process involved in fighting for justice with a commercial insurance company can be more difficult than a normal car accident claim, should handle these cases. Commercial insurance companies usually send out their own accident investigation teams when serious injuries or fatalities have taken place. These are commercial operations that answer to stockholders and boards of directors - they are not representing you, your family or protecting your interests. Unfortunately, they will pay you as little as they can. It is absolutely imperative that you have representation to protect your rights. MEDICAL MALPRACTICE:
Medical Malpractice suits arise when a health care provider fails to provide medical care that comports with the prevailing "standard of care". In essence, should a health care provider fail to provide "reasonable" care and such deficient care causes an injury, a claim for Medical Malpractice very well may exist for the injured person(s). Medical Malpractice actions are complex, varied, and no two are alike. These lawsuits are one of the cornerstone practices of Prieto, Marigliano, Holbert & Prieto, LLC. All of our lawyers started their career on the defense side of the bar. Our experience in defending doctors, hospitals, nurses, hospitals, therapists, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, dentists, chiropractors and other health care providers. Knowing how these complex matters are evaluated, both in terms of liability, causation and value by the defendants and their insurance companies, has served as a tremendous asset for Prieto, Marigliano, Holbert & Prieto, LLC in pursuing Medical Malpractice claims. The network of physicians, nurses and other health care providers that Prieto, Marigliano, Holbert & Prieto, LLC can timely consult with to evaluate your case is extensive and has invaluably served our clients.
