Filter by case type
Nursing home neglect
Protecting residents when a care facility fails to keep them safe.
Families trust nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, assisted-living communities, and other long-term care facilities to provide attentive, dignified care. When understaffing, poor training, ignored warning signs, or unsafe practices cause serious harm, KSG Law investigates what happened and pursues accountability.
These cases often require careful review of medical records, staffing information, care plans, incident reports, facility policies, regulatory findings, and testimony from medical and long-term care experts.
Pressure injuries
Bedsores caused or worsened by inadequate repositioning, skin care, nutrition, or treatment.
Falls and fractures
Injuries involving inadequate supervision, unsafe transfers, missing alarms, or ignored fall risks.
Medication errors
Wrong medications, incorrect dosages, missed doses, dangerous interactions, or poor monitoring.
Malnutrition and dehydration
Failure to monitor intake, weight loss, swallowing risks, or a resident's changing needs.
Infection and delayed treatment
Failure to recognize or timely respond to sepsis, wound infection, respiratory illness, or other deterioration.
Abuse and unsafe supervision
Physical abuse, inappropriate restraint, elopement, resident-on-resident harm, or other preventable incidents.
Choking and aspiration
Failure to follow dietary restrictions, swallowing precautions, feeding plans, or safe positioning requirements.
Neglected hygiene and incontinence care
Inadequate bathing, toileting, oral care, or clean bedding that contributes to infection, skin breakdown, or loss of dignity.
Founder profile
Kelly Sabo Gaden
Kelly Sabo Gaden is a trial lawyer who represents individuals and families in complex, high-stakes personal injury and wrongful death cases. Her practice focuses on nursing home neglect and abuse, medical malpractice, birth injury, catastrophic trucking and auto cases, Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILA), and other matters involving serious or fatal injuries.
Over the course of nearly two decades in practice, Kelly has secured more than $265 million in verdicts and settlements for her clients. Her experience includes record-setting verdicts and significant recoveries in nursing home, medical negligence, trucking, abuse, and catastrophic injury cases.
Kelly founded KSG Law to create a deliberately focused practice where significant cases receive direct attorney involvement, careful preparation, and the resources necessary to take on sophisticated defendants and insurers. She works closely with her clients throughout the litigation process, helping them understand not only what is happening in their case, but why.
Before founding KSG Law, Kelly held senior leadership roles at prominent Chicago plaintiff's law firms, including leading long-term care and medical malpractice teams.
