Abuse And Neglect Can Lead To Catastrophic And Fatal Injuries
Nursing home abuse is an intentional act of violence against a patient. Nursing home neglect is a failure to provide patients with basic needs such as food, medical care and shelter. Some of the most common types of nursing home abuse and neglect include:
- Bedsores
- Dehydration & Malnutrition
- Improper Use of Restraints
- Slip-And-Fall Accidents
- Medication Errors
- Lack of Supervising/Wandering
- Physical or Sexual Abuse
Nursing home patients may suffer serious injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, organ failure, infection and PTSD. In the most severe cases, wrongful death may be the result.
To determine how the injury happened, we will investigate the incident. There may be multiple liable parties, including the facility, individual staff members, other residents or third parties. We will seek compensation from all negligent parties. Our experience with medical malpractice and personal injury claims means that we understand the complexities of these cases.
