In 2019, there were 21,236 residents in Wisconsin nursing facilities. As the population ages, that number will continue to grow, as will the number of concerns families have about the safety, security, and care of loved ones living in those facilities.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 4.5 million Americans suffer dog bites every year, or 1 in every 73 persons. Of those bitten, at least 800,000 require medical care. If you or your loved one suffers a bite by a neighbor or friend’s dog, you may be entitled to compensation for injuries.

When you are injured in an accident on a friend or neighbor’s property, you may be hesitant to seek compensation for your injuries. However, filing a claim against the homeowner’s insurance means that your neighbor isn’t the one covering the costs.

Safe staffing ratios in nursing homes are essential. Having lower staffing levels can compromise care quality and cause nursing home accidents. If you are concerned about negligence due to low staffing levels and your loved one’s safety, it is crucial that you consult with a knowledgeable Wisconsin personal injury attorney.
