I Handle Nursing Home Cases That Other Law Firms Won't

Unmatched Experience Handling Ohio Nursing Home Cases

My name is Blake Dickson and I have spent the last 25 years as a lawyer devoted to the rights of nursing home residents and their families. I have tried cases in counties throughout Ohio. I have helped thousands of nursing home residents and their families find answers and hold nursing homes accountable.

What I see and hear everyday makes me angry. Nursing home residents are victims of falls, bedsores, assaults, choking and elopement. Their stories are heartbreaking. I take each case personally. I hold the owners and operators of nursing homes  responsible.

The nursing homes know who I am. No other Plaintiff's lawyer in the State of Ohio has tried as many nursing home cases as I have. There have only been two cases ever heard by the Ohio Supreme Court which dealt with the rights of nursing home residents. I was involved with both cases. I was very proud to represent Esther Piskor in her case of nursing home abuse. Her family went to multiple lawyers. they all turned then down. I handled her case successfully. After the case the State of Ohio Legislature passed Esther's Law, which guarantees the right of people who have a loved one in a nursing home to install a camera in the room of their loved one.

Attorneys from all of the the State of Ohio and all over the country send me their Ohio Nursing Home Cases because of my reputation for holding these nursing homes accountable.

Many Ohio Nursing Homes Ignore the Very Laws That Were Passed to Protect Nursing Home Residents

Ohio's Nursing Home Residents' Bill of Rights guarantees residents have the rights to a safe and clean environment, free from abuse and neglect, adequate medical care, and the right to participate in their care.

However, in spite of this laws, we still see nursing home residents who are neglected and abused every single day. Their stories are tragic. If you have a complaint about poor treatment in a nursing home, please call us.

Help for Victims of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Throughout Ohio

There are more than 950 nursing homes in the State of Ohio responsible for the care and safety of over 66,000 residents.  All too often, the staff at these nursing homes neglect and abuse them. This is often the result of understaffing. The owners and the operators of these facilities cut the staff to cut costs and increase their profits, leaving the residents vulnerable to neglect and even abuse. If someone you love has been neglected or abused in a nursing home, call us, we can help you.
