Auburn Nursing Home Abuse Attorney | Personal Injury Lawyer

Placing an elderly loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility requires a high degree of trust. When care facilities operate with understaffed shifts, poorly trained caregivers, or outright neglect, vulnerable seniors can suffer catastrophic physical harm. At the Law Offices of Thomas J. McDonnell, an experienced Auburn nursing home abuse attorney will fight aggressively to hold negligent facilities accountable.

Protecting Vulnerable Seniors Across Placer County

Elder abuse and medical neglect occur far too often in senior living communities, memory care facilities, and convalescent centers located throughout Auburn, Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln. Nursing homes often put corporate profits ahead of resident safety, leading to preventable injuries and severe medical complications.

As your local personal injury lawyer, Thomas J. McDonnell investigates facility staffing logs, state licensing reports, medical records, and inspection violations to expose elder mistreatment and demand justice for your family.

• Unsupervised Falls & Fractures: Broken hips or head trauma caused by failure to provide required ambulatory assistance.
