Information and Insight for Injured Iowans

As a Cedar Rapids, Iowa nursing home negligence lawyer, I am asked fairly often how does one know if your family member in Iowa suffered from nursing home neglect, abuse, or negligence or simply from an innocent mistake or accident?  You should speak to an Iowa nursing home attorney as soon as you suspect something is not right – there may be violations of state or federal law involved.   You should also attempt to get copies of the records as soon as possible.  With the help of a nursing home negligence attorney you can often get these medical records quickly.  You may need to report the suspected abuse to the State but you should talk to a lawyer first in most situations as everything you do could become evidence at a later date.  Once you have decided you have some questions that need answers, you need to make sure you seek out an attorney who understands Iowa nursing home cases and nursing home laws.   Feel free to check out www.riccololaw.com  or www.pressleyhenningsen.com to learn more or request our nursing home negligence guide.   We have worked on nursing home negligence cases in many of Iowa’s communities including Davenport, Bettendorf, Iowa City, Coralville, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Des Moines, Sioux City and many other smaller communities.  We will gladly talk to you and try to answer your questions.
