Garcia & Coman, Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse Lawyers - Lexington, KY

Championing the Rights of Kentucky's Seniors and Abuse Victims

Placing an elderly family member in a nursing home or assisted living facility requires a massive leap of faith. We trust these institutions to provide compassionate care, proper medication, and a safe, respectful living environment. Unfortunately, due to understaffing, inadequate training, and corporate greed, many Kentucky facilities fail to meet these basic standards. Garcia & Coman, Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse Lawyers (formerly known as Garcia & Artigliere) is a nationally recognized law firm with a dedicated local office in Lexington, Kentucky, built specifically to represent vulnerable seniors and their grieving families.

Led by legendary trial lawyer Stephen M. Garcia - a recipient of multiple Lawdragon 500 Leading Consumer Plaintiffs in America designations, a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and a veteran advocate - the firm has successfully recovered millions of dollars for victims of elder abuse. If you need a lawyer urgently to protect an aging parent, seek justice after a suspicious injury, or pursue a wrongful death claim, this elite team is ready to stand by your side.

Fighting Back Against Severe Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Nursing home neglect can manifest in multiple physical and psychological ways, often going unnoticed until severe damage has occurred. The trial attorneys at Garcia & Coman are experts at recognizing the warning signs of institutional neglect and hold facilities legally accountable for a variety of injuries, including:

• Bedsores and Pressure Ulcers: When bedbound or wheelchair-bound residents are not turned regularly, they develop excruciating pressure sores that can lead to fatal septic infections.
• Frequent Falls and Fractures: Inadequate assistance with transfers or mobility often leads to severe falls, resulting in broken hips, traumatic brain injuries, or subdural hematomas.
• Medication Errors: Senior residents rely on precise dosages of medications. Missed doses, incorrect prescriptions, or failure to monitor side effects can lead to catastrophic medical emergencies.
• Malnutrition and Dehydration: Failing to assist residents with eating and drinking can cause rapid physical decline, kidney failure, and death.

Seeking Justice for Physical, Sexual, and Psychological Abuse

Tragically, elder abuse is not always passive neglect. In some senior care facilities, residents are subjected to active physical violence, sexual assault, or emotional torment by staff members or other unsupervised residents. Garcia & Coman conducts comprehensive, independent investigations into facility background checks, hiring practices, and security measures to uncover how these horrific violations occurred, forcing corporate operators to pay maximum damages and reform their operations.

Pursuing Wrongful Death and Medical Malpractice Litigation

When corporate negligence or medical malpractice results in the premature death of a beloved senior, families have the right to seek justice. The trial team at the firm collaborates with top-tier medical experts, forensic pathologists, and nurse investigators to prove deviations from standard care, securing compensation for final medical bills, funeral expenses, and the immense loss of companionship.
