A California nursing home is under investigation after three of its residents were given liquid dishwashing soap to drink. The residents had been told that the liquid was juice.
The dishwashing soap contained toxic chemicals known to be harmful to human health, and all three victims were transported to an area hospital for treatment. At the last update, two of the victims remain hospitalized. The third victim—a 93-year-old woman—was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The nursing home claims that the mix-up between the juice and dishwashing soap was unintentional, and has since suspended the involved employees while they carry out an internal investigation. Local detectives are also conducting a joint investigation with the California Department of Social Services Ombudsman.
An Undercurrent of Abuse and Neglect in Nursing Homes
While it remains unclear whether the act of serving dishwashing soap to residents was an accident or intentional, nursing home residents should never be subjected to this level of neglect or abuse. Every nursing home facility must maintain rigorous safety standards for the well-being of all residents. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case.
Researchers have determined that elderly individuals who reside in long-term residential facilities (such as nursing homes) face particularly high rates of abuse and neglect. The elderly are among some of the most vulnerable members of our society, with many suffering from both limited physical ability and poor cognitive functioning related to chronic diseases. Being partly or wholly dependent on a caregiver for daily tasks such as sitting, standing, walking, bathing, eating, drinking, and more can also leave a resident vulnerable to abuse or neglect.
Nursing Home Residents Deserve Better

Although we cannot say with any certainty what might be appropriate for your situation without first meeting and discussing your case, we do know that nursing home abuse lawsuits are often an effective way to secure compensation for your loved one while also holding the nursing home responsible for its actions.

I would like to thank Nick Thompson and Thomas Law Offices for making my personal injury case a hassle free process. I am a Texas resident who was involved in a commercial vehicle accident in Kentucky. He was very professional with all communications and kept me informed on every step of the case. Even though I was only expecting to be compensated for my loss wages he was able to negotiate much more. I'm very pleased with his representation and the settlement that I received!

Nick is my attorney and Kathy is the paralegal on my case. I CANNOT say enough good things about these 2. From jump Nick dove in and explained things no matter what I needed or what I needed explained.I never felt rushed or pressured in my case. I felt supported and he laid out all the options for me as they came to him.Kathy always answered all of my questions and gave me documents when I needed them. If you are in a car accident of any kind these 2 are def who you want in your corner. Again I don’t know what I would have done without them through this very tough process!

Bo was extremely patient and so professional throughout my case which lasted through Covid and I believe four years. He kept me up-to-date with communication regarding this case, and always explain things sometimes three or four times until I understood it and for that I am extremely grateful! I would definitely seek his assistance in any future endeavors that I would have, and would certainly recommend him to friends and family!

Attorney Kevin Weis and the team at Thomas Law Offices are professional and compassionate attorneys, and I couldn’t be happier with the result of my case.

My experience with Thomas Law Offices was very pleasant. I worked directly with Kevin Weis. He did his best to help me in any way he could. No stone was left un-turned. Because of this I now have a chance to start my own business. It's unfortunate what happened to me, but because of the people at Thomas Law Offices I now have a second chance. I can rise from the ashes. I hope I never need to seek legal help again. However, if I do you can guarantee I will be going straight back to Thomas Law Offices!

While visiting Kentucky with friends for a week of deer hunting I visited a local restaurant. The floor was mopped with no signs placed to warn customers. When my rubber hunting boots hit the wet floor I immediately went down slamming the back of my head into the ceramic tile floor. I suffered a concussion and damage to some teeth from the impact. I was referred to Attorney Kevin Weis who responded immediately, took all my information, and accepted my case. He along with his staff communicated regularly with me informing me on what I needed to provide and what was taking place in the process. Due to his expertise my case was settled out of court with all my medical bills covered and compensation for myself. I am extremely pleased with his service and highly recommend him and his firm if you are in need for a high quality and professional law firm.Dan LivingstonPensacola, Florida

I am incredibly happy that I chose Thomas Law Offices to represent me, Mike Campbell was the most professional and most helpful attorney i have ever worked with, he was there every time things began to concern me with a calming demeanor and the explanation i needed to hear to help me keep my composure.. he saw the case through to the end just as he said he would and a few times pulled me back from the edge when it would have been detrimental to the case for me to follow my instinct to "just be done with it"I appreciate everything their office did and the relationship that was built through a very tough time in my life.I absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of legal counsel .SincerelyBruce Farrell.

Louis Schneider and the team at Thomas Law Offices represented us well over the past 18 months, in reaching a settlement on our auto accident. In late 2019, another driver ran a red light and t-boned my car, injuring me and totaling my vehicle. Louie did a nice job of reaching settlements on both the car and later on our medical claims to make sure we came out whole. Louie addressed our concerns and was very responsive to our requests or questions, and he was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Thomas Law Office if you find yourself in a similar situation.

Lindsy Lopez – RecommendationI have decades of experience working in insurance; however, after being injured in an auto accident, I quickly realized I needed help to sort through the legal, medical, and financial confusion. After researching the attorneys and law firms in my area, I reached out to Lindsy Lopez because of her academic and professional experience. I was also impressed with her community education and advocacy and that of the Thomas Law firm with whom she is associated. Lindsy is easy to talk to, a good listener, explained the law in straightforward language, and outlined the steps we needed to take. Questions and communication were encouraged, and the response from Lindsy was prompt and spot-on. She informed, supported, and guided me through an almost two-year process to a successful outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsy Lopez if you find yourself in need of a hardworking and committed advocate.

This was my first time personally working with a lawyer, and Louie was incredible in providing facts and a well-rounded perspective regarding this process. He helped relieve a lot of the anxiety I suffered as a result of my car accident and allowed me to make informed decisions. He was easily accessible via email and always willing to talk over the phone to check-in. His paralegal Charles was so attentive and quick on any clarification I had or questions that needed a timely response. I'm so glad Louie was recommended to me and I'm happy to continue recommending him to anyone in need.

I couldn't have made a better choice than Kevin Weis! He is an outstanding personal injury lawyer. Kevin is responsive, professional and easy to work with. He kept me informed every step of the way and went out of his way to make sure I understood what was happening with my case. He is very knowledgeable and I found his advice to be solid and fair. My case was challenging and through it all Kevin was honest, direct, and believed in me. I was very satisfied with the outcome.

The Thomas Law Offices did a WONDERFUL job helping me with an injury; specifically Kevin. He was 100% on top of things- I barely had to do any leg work which was a breath of fresh air. In addition, Kevin always made sure I felt like a priority. Professional, prompt, and caring are just a few of the MANY great things I could mention. Without a doubt I would recommend Thomas Law Offices to my friends and family.Thank you Kevin and everyone at the office!Merry Christmas!

When I was hit by a tractor trailer this year I had no idea how to navigate the mess of insurance adjusters, medical bills, claims, and the loss I had in missing work. It was a scary and vulnerable time to realize I just lost my means to work and the ability to provide for my family. Kevin Weis guided me through the confusing process and kept me informed in a way I could understand. His knowledge of the in and outs of personal injury claims was so extensive he actually made the whole process quite simple for me. Now, months later, I am very happy with our end result and feel that I have been made completely whole from the accident. He went above and beyond to make sure I received everything I owed for medical care, wage loss, and pain and suffering. In the future I will send all my family’s legal business to him and recommend him highly to anyone who needs a knowledgeable attorney to fight for them when they feel the hurt and loss of an accident.

I had a big box store put the wrong size tires on my car and as a result, I had an non-injury accident.Other Louisville law firms did not want my case as it was not a huge money maker. I only wanted my almost totaled car fixed. Lou Snyder of Thomas Law Firm helped me settle out of court with that big box store (can’t say the name, but you would know it). I am thrilled he helped me recoup my loss.

Mike is the kind of lawyer other lawyers go to when they have questions about how to do something right. He is a subject matter expert and frequently teaches other lawyers how to improve their practices and get better results for their clients. I know, because I'm one of those lawyers that look up to Mike. You're in good hands with Mike.

We initially hired an attorney in FL where we live but since the accident happened in KY, our FL attorney referred us to the Thomas Law Firm and I'm so glad they did. The experience was wonderful, they were very responsive to all our calls and emails and Lindsy has always advised us openly about our options. The case was rather unique and complicated but they were able to get us a great settlement as they fought very hard for us. They even got us additional benefits in addition to the settlement with the insurance company. I highly recommend them and wouldn't look further.

The hard work and dedication from Lindsay Cordes, Tad Thomas, and the entire team was able to receive a settlement in my TITLE IX LAWSUIT. (Caps lock for emphasis, trust me, it's needed.)Lindsay and Tad were the fiercest of legal defense as we fought stiff odds, the kindest of spirits as I cried from recounting trauma, the most reliable of sources when I found myself lost in legality, and the most effective of lawyers for winning this case! Title IX is a volatile field and campus rape a traumatic matter. Lindsay, Tad, and Thomas Law Offices navigated this battlefield of an issue with the utmost kindness, tenacity, compassion, reliability, and genuine investment in me not as a client, but as a person. I wouldn't wish anything less for your legal needs!
