Excellent professional detail service from beginning to the end. The process was explained to us by Roy and his staff in detail. I was given a updates every month and the process was very smooth. Never had to wait for someone to pick up the phone or “Get back to me.” I recommend this firm for all your needs. Mark C.

Roy and his staff handled my parents’ estate. They were very thorough and professional. Their guidance, kindness and patience were a great help during this difficult time. Crista. B.

Roy, Susan, Matt & staff have delivered great results for me in two separate automobile personal injury matters. [...] J&J scrutinized case details that other lawyers had missed or wrongly deemed inconsequential that ultimately led settlement amounts more than double what was initially offered. You owe it to yourself to contact them for a consult first if your current lawyer is advising a quick settlement. C. Crespo

The entire process was made as simple as possible for me by Eric. I felt I was in good hands. Each step of my legal journey was explained to me clearly by Eric. He always took my phone calls and made me fell like I was an important client of his. Could not ask for more. Michele. P.

I bought a new house and had Roy do my two closings. Both were done in the same day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. Everything went smooth. Can't say enough nice things about Roy and his staff. Plenty of correspondence back and forth and all was done without any problems. Highly recommend Jaghab, Jaghab & Jaghab. Evan B.

I recently closed on my home, and Roy made the process as easy as possible. They kept me informed and provided me with updates along the way. I cannot recommend them enough! Jaime P.

Definitely who you want to choose for a personal injury case no matter what it is very professional and I was handled like family very informative throughout the whole process Mr. Roy is the man I couldn’t ask for more! Mustafa A.

Roy is the best - was technically sound and extremely hard working. Had a great experience with the entire firm. Highly Recommend! Corey B.

Cases of Physical Assault in Nursing Homes

Types of Nursing Home Abuse

One of the signs of abuse in cases of nursing home negligence is when you observe that your loved one has been bruised, cut, or suffered other physical damage. The bruising can be the result of the improper use of restraints, hitting, kicking, slapping, pinching and other illegal acts. If you observe that your loved one is injured physically, no matter what excuse is offered to you, it is possible that they have been the victim of nursing home abuse. Certain individuals that work within the system are not concerned with the health of those under their care. The frail condition of the elderly makes them targets for bullies, and the victim frequently does not have the ability to report the abuse due to diminished mental capacity.

It is a sad and tragic issue that many families must deal with – those they entrusted to care for a family member are committing illegal acts of abuse. If you see that your loved one is fearful, flinches when approached, has bruising, cuts, or other injuries, it is vital that you contact a Long Island personal injury attorney without delay. Cases of sexual abuse – an unbelievable illegal act – have also been reported in a great number of cases.

Another type of physical abuse is the overmedication of a resident. In some cases, the staff, in an effort to “keep them quiet” will keep a nursing home resident drugged far beyond what is prescribed. If you see that your loved one is constantly sleeping, groggy, unable to communicate, it is possible that they are a victim of this form of physical abuse. The overmedication of the elderly is very dangerous; their frail physical state together with the overuse of prescription medications can lead to serious physical issues and even death. If your family member appears to be overmedicated is bruised, scratched or showing other signs of physical abuse, we urge you to contact us at once. We can help you report the abuse to the correct authorities and take legal action against the facility that has allowed the abuse to continue.
