Relentless Advocates for New York’s Most Vulnerable

Making the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is one of the most challenging choices a family can face. Families trust these facilities to provide compassionate, professional care, ensuring the safety and dignity of their loved ones. Unfortunately, nursing home negligence and abuse are far too common, putting some of our most vulnerable population at risk.

At Leitner Warywoda, we are dedicated to fighting for the rights of nursing home residents throughout New York City, Westchester, Rockland and Long Island. With decades of experience and hundreds of millions recovered in verdicts and settlements, we hold negligent facilities accountable and seek justice for your loved ones.

Placing a parent or spouse in a nursing home is never easy, and it should never end in harm. Leitner Warywoda PLLC stands up for residents across New York City, the five boroughs, and Long Island who have suffered abuse or neglect. Ranked among the state’s premier trial firms, we combine courtroom muscle with deep compassion, giving families a voice when facilities betray their duty of care.

What Nursing-Home Negligence Looks Like

Our cases reveal a common pattern: overworked staff, cost-cutting administrators, and ignored safety rules. The result can be catastrophic—bedsores, malnutrition, dehydration, medication errors, falls, fractures, subdural hematomas, and even wrongful death. We document every pressure-ulcer stage, investigate unexplained injuries, and expose chronic understaffing to prove liability and recover maximum compensation for our clients

New York Law Is on Your Side—We Make It Count

State and federal regulations—including New York Public Health Law §2801-d and 10 NYCRR 415—guarantee residents the right to dignity, safety, and timely access to their medical records. When facilities hide documents or retaliate against whistle-blowers, we obtain orders compelling production and seek statutory penalties that strengthen the value of your claim.

Families Play a Critical Role

Frequent visits, photo documentation, and written complaints can stop neglect before it escalates. If you notice sudden weight loss, bruising, or personality changes, call us first—we coordinate medical evaluations, preserve evidence, and report abuse to the Department of Health while your loved one’s care continues.

Your Case Starts with a Free Consultation

From Midtown Manhattan to Montauk, our attorneys travel to hospitals, rehab centers, and clients’ homes to deliver personalized counsel. We charge no fee unless we win, and our verdicts and settlements speak for themselves.
