Nursing home residents often have medical problems or take medications that make it difficult to properly chew or swallow food.  Due to this, many are at high risk for choking.

Choking, by depriving oxygen to the brain, can cause brain damage, and even death. While such an injury may appear to be accidental, in some instances choking is a result of nursing home neglect.  When this is the case, it is important that nursing homes are held accountable for their fatal mistakes.

If the choking occurred because the patient was fed the wrong food or was not properly monitored, it is the fault of the nursing home, and your loved one may have a nursing home abuse lawsuit.  Our attorneys have successfully represented a number of families in nursing home choking cases, and may be able to help you seek justice.
