Putting Your Best Interests First — Boone County Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers
Nursing home abuse and neglect has recently become a critical issue. When you entrust the care of a loved one to another person, you likely have expectations. When your expectations are not met and an act of negligence causes an injury or death, you need an experienced lawyer who will advocate for your best interests.
When choosing a lawyer, consider working with Busald Funk Zevely, P.S.C. We have been helping the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati community since 1971 by providing honest, straightforward and assertive representation.

Contact us today to discuss your case.
We assist clients with nursing home abuse and neglect cases involving:
- Falls: Injuries from falls can have a drastic impact on someone, especially the elderly. When we take on these cases, we thoroughly investigate the situation and ask critical questions. We look at all possible sources to pinpoint why the incident occurred, and we will work very hard to achieve the best outcome for your situation.
- Bedsores and ulcers: Elderly people are at a high risk for bedsores and pressure ulcers, so treating and preventing these situations is critical. We will look into the corporate conduct of the nursing home and determine if inaccurate charting or falsification of documentation contributed to this type of elder abuse and neglect.
- Nursing home deaths: Although no amount of money can ever justify the loss of a loved one, you are still entitled to just compensation. If you have lost a loved one due to nursing home neglect, we will aggressively pursue your claim and provide the compassionate representation you are likely looking for.
- Dehydration and malnutrition: The cause of many injuries and illnesses in nursing homes is dehydration and malnutrition. These are often the result of staff neglect; the failure to properly ensure hydration and nutrition in patients who may or may not be able to care for themselves.
- Wandering and elopement: When staff fails to keep track of a patient, wandering and elopement can occur. Our firm takes these cases very seriously, as it is the responsibility of the nursing home to ensure the safety and security of each resident.
We can also assist clients in reviewing nursing home contracts. In many cases, a nursing home has buried a clause in the agreement that states that you are giving up your right to a jury trial if you were to bring an action against the nursing home. Our firm can assist you in understanding these types of arbitration clauses and how to opt out of them while agreeing to the remainder of the contract.
