Verger Group announced today that its Legal Nurse Consulting firm is officially open for business.
With more than 12 years of legal experience and over two decades of
medical expertise in the health-care industry, Jaime Schwingel, RN, MSN,
WCC, and co-founder of Verger Group
discovered there was a considerable gap to fill while working with
several attorneys relating to nursing home malpractice. Schwingel proved
her role as a legal nurse consultant is a crucial need for both
plaintiff and defense attorneys as well as a very cost-effective and a
vital resource for those attorneys specializing in nursing homes and
assisted living malpractice cases. In addition, with the recent Coronavirus outbreak infecting many in
nursing homes and assisted living facilities, Verger Group has put
together a COVID-19 task force specializing in Standards of Nurse
Practice in skilled nursing facilities and assisted living centers
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent statistics claim nursing home malpractice cases are growing at an alarming rate. Nursinghomeabuse.org, reports there are as many as 5,000,000 abuse cases each year, with 1 in 10 elders over the age 60 of having been abused. The World Health Organization states
that currently, 1.5 Million People live in Nursing Homes in the United
States, and 1 in 6 Adults aged 60 or older suffer some abuse while in a community setting. This data is quite astounding when it comes to those baby boomers
destined to overpopulate the industry which could result in a dangerous
mix leaving skilled nursing facilities vulnerable as well. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services records indicates that in
Wisconsin, we have 1601 community based residential facilities (CBRF)
for 31,761 beds. The Residential Care Apartment Complexes (RCAC) have
341 facilities for 15,847 beds. Furthermore, assisted living complaints
went from 981 in 2014 to 1465 in 2018, with 65% of those complaints
coming from CBRF, 39% anonymous, 28% guardians, 9% by residents, and 2%
by attorneys. Self-reporting complaints grew from 3645 in 2014 to 5284
complaints in 2018. Armed with these overwhelming statistics combined with decades of
healthcare experience, Verger Group is poised to take on the demand for
legal nurse consulting as a solution and as a golden partner for the
attorneys who work within this growing tertiary sector. As President and Senior Expert of Verger Group, Jaime Schwingel is no
stranger to the world of expert witnesses as she has unmatched
experience participating in multi-million-dollar case testimonies.
