Welcome

Seattle Nursing Home Lawyer

As an attorney, I am dedicated to protecting residents’ rights in nursing homes, assisted living centers and other facilities. As a registered nurse with 14 years of experience working with the elderly, I know how important it is to get the right treatment and care so that people can live life to the fullest. My law office is committed to helping seniors and their families when substandard care has caused injury or illness. I provide legal solutions to health problems.

Caring attention to the legal rights of the elderly

In addition, there is no attorney’s fee unless you receive compensation and damages for your injury or illness. Contact a Seattle lawyer if you have been injured, made ill or a loved one has died prematurely because of inadequate care. Call me, Catherine S. Strong, to learn how I can help.

Handling all matters involving nursing home neglect and abuse

Whether a relative in a nursing home appears dehydrated or you would like to discuss estate planning and asset protection, my western Washington office is ready to help. I handle issues such as:

• Bedsores/Pressure Sores
• Dehydration/Malnutrition
• Sexual and Physical Abuse
• Falls and Injuries

If you or an elderly loved one has experienced any of these in a Medicare/Medicaid-certified care facility, you may have a cause of action under federal law. In addition, Washington state law may allow you to sue a care provider if you received inadequate treatment.

If medical malpractice or other neglect and abuse has led to bedsores, or even wrongful death, I can help determine what happened and undertake an action that can help you obtain compensation. Equally important, a successful lawsuit can force negligent facility operators to improve the care they provide.

Working with the elderly on care management and financial issues

My western Washington law office also provides advice and counsel to individuals and families on issues related to Estate Planning/Asset Protection, care management and other elder law matters. Contact me today to learn how I can use my years of experience helping seniors and their families to help you.
