Minnesota Nursing Home Abuse Attorney
Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Kenneth LaBore has made his career representing vulnerable populations for serious injuries and wrongful death throughout the state of Minnesota. There are many types of preventable abuse and neglect which can result in serious injuries and death to residents in care facilities.
Residents are required by law to require appropriate care based on their needs to the highest level practicable. The risks for each resident must be assessed and a care plan developed for each directing staff on how to provide care and services. Neglect is when the needs are not assessed, or there is not an appropriate intervention taken to reduce or mitigate risks and care plan is not complete is not followed.

Nursing Home Neglect Cases - This is What we Do
As an attorney who has practiced in nursing home neglect and assisted living abuse for over three decades. I have handled hundreds of cases against many of the state’s care facilities. Residents in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and others are considered vulnerable adults by definition and are protected by the law. As we age or have infirmities our ability to advocate and care for ourselves diminishes. The type of situations which lead to serious injury or death in care facilities are often easily avoided with proper care. Many of the injuries I see have been the result of improper use of equipment such as patient mechanical lifts, aka Hoyer lifts. Injuries also occur from medication errors, a failure to notice a change in a resident’s condition, or some other omission or mistake. It is essential that care facilities have properly trained staff and adequate numbers of nurses and aides to provide for the necessary care for all the residents in a facility.
