The master-planned community of Coral Springs brings its own unique look and feel to Broward County. Located about 20 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale, the city has won a number of honors for the outstanding lifestyles it offers. Strict landscaping and signage laws give the community the distinct, sprawling look that earned it the unusual distinction of being the location of McDonald’s first store with no Golden Arches sign. Coral Springs has been recognized by CNNMoney.com and Money Magazine as one of the best places to live in the U.S. It is also the first city government winner of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.
Locals know that the quality of life in Coral Springs is excellent, and the nursing home abuse and neglect attorneys at Freeman Injury Law, have dedicated their efforts to ensuring that nursing home residents in the city and throughout Broward County and South Florida can say the same. Our experienced elder abuse lawyers know that older Americans find themselves victimized by caregivers too often. We are committed to protecting the rights of those who are unable to fight for themselves.
No one wants to enter a nursing home, but health conditions force that difficult decision for many Americans. Often, care is good and the quality of life that frail or chronically ill individuals can attain is good as well. However, the nursing home neglect lawyers in our firm know that a high percentage of nursing homes are cited for deficiencies in the care they provide.
Our Coral Springs nursing home abuse attorneys know that when nursing home care doesn’t measure up to professional standards or when facilities are understaffed, residents can suffer. We’ve seen the tragic results of injuries from falls, the damage caused by severe infections, and the deaths that occur when untreated pressure sores lead to the rapidly progressing infection called sepsis. Sometimes referred to as blood poisoning, sepsis can quickly cause serious illness and, ultimately, organ failure.
