Nursing Home Negligence
Is your nursing home harming you or your loved one? Nursing homes, as well as assisted living or long term care facilities, are supposed to protect elderly residents. A resident of a nursing home can suffer numerous injuries if abused or neglected, including bruises, dehydration, bed sores, poor nutrition, or infection. In addition, if the neglect or abuse causes the resident to fall, the patient may suffer broken bones, spinal cord damage, or brain injury. When it comes to the elderly who are frail and vulnerable, many of these injuries can result in death.
When a nursing home staff, including its nurses, doctors, or any other employees, neglects a resident, abuses a resident, or fails to monitor the resident and provide appropriate care, the nursing home is negligent. Abused or neglected residents - or their heirs - have a right to be compensated for the pain and suffering they experienced, as well as payment for any medical care that was needed to assist the elderly patients in their recovery.
We recognize that nursing home negligence is often a "hidden" problem, requiring a thorough investigation and complete review of all of the patient's medical and nursing home records to determine who was at fault, to assure that the victims and their heirs are fully compensated.
