Law Offices of Glenn W. Cunningham at 14100 San Pedro Avenue Suite 550, San Antonio, TX 78232, handles nursing home choking death cases with over 30 years of experience. Attorney Cunningham addresses preventable choking incidents caused by inadequate staffing, delayed responses, and failure to follow dietary orders for soft mechanical, pureed, or bite-sized food requirements based on residents’ swallowing difficulties and poor dentition. The firm investigates dining room understaffing where no one notices choking until too late, absence of Basic Life Support certified nurses during critical moments, and time-delaying decisions to move choking residents to private rooms before performing Heimlich maneuver or CPR to avoid upsetting other residents. With elderly residents having low oxygen reserves, brain damage occurs within 4-6 minutes of oxygen deprivation, becomes likely at 6-10 minutes, and is imminent after 10 minutes, making every second critical. The practice pursues negligence claims when facilities squander precious minutes through delayed life-saving procedures, representing families whose loved ones died because dietary orders weren’t followed or assistance was delayed. Glenn W. Cunningham offers free consultations at (210) 228-0600, holding negligent parties accountable for completely avoidable choking deaths in Texas nursing homes.
