JOSEPH DOMIANO: Friedman, Domiano & Smith handles nursing home neglect cases. The most common types are fall down, wanderers, and those poor folks who the personnel fail to turn over properly and they develop decubitus ulcers, which are extremely, extremely painful.

JOSEPH DOMIANO: People that are victimized in these cases represent part of our population that are the most vulnerable.

JOSEPH DOMIANO: These are the elderly and the infirm.
STEPHEN VANEK: But the family is also a victim too.

STEPHEN VANEK: Because they've trusted the care of a loved on to an institution with the understanding that they're going to be provided competent medical care.

JOSEPH DOMIANO: And so we want to hold the entire nursing home staff and ownership accountable for neglect that they inflict on our clients.
STEPHEN VANEK: In a nursing home case, we typically have to file suit. And the information investigation is garnered from the records and from the depositions that we take of the staff and the administration of the nursing home.
The best advice I think you can give somebody who has a family member in a nursing home or other type of facility is to be there because you are the best eyes in the world on taking care of that patient.
