- Not enough food variety
- Dining facilities that are too far from patient rooms, given their mobility
- Sanitation issues with food service
- Failing to address someone’s specific dietary needs
- Lack of staff to provide meals

- Intentional neglect
- Budget cutting, inadequate finances devoted to food resources
How a Malnutrition Lawyer Can Help
Victims deserve justice, but it can be hard to know where to begin when you or a loved one has been victimized by malnutrition. At Jordan Law Center, we investigate, bring a claim, and build the evidence. We demand answers when the nursing home, assisted living facility, or hospital refuses to take responsibility.
As your lawyer, we handle all the steps of your claim. From the initial investigation, negotiating your settlement, and through your trial, we are your advocates. Throughout the case, we explain what to expect and answer your questions.
We understand that it’s difficult to be a victim, and we want to represent your interests with compassion. To see how we can help you, please contact us to learn more.
