What is Nursing Home Abuse?
In general, nursing home abuse is any action that leads to the harm of a long-term care facility resident. It can be a noticeable physical action, such as hitting, or the neglect to do something, such as failing to bathe residents on a regular basis.
Nursing home abuse and negligence cases stem from a variety of matters. We handle claims involving:
- A nurse improperly monitors a resident, resulting in falls.
- The nursing home fails to provide meals that accommodate for special needs, resulting in malnutrition.
- The lack of supervision of new nurses results in medication errors.
- Failing to turn a resident, which can result in serious bed sores.
- Alzheimer patients who have wandered off because they are not properly supervised or restrained.
- A nurse or staff member physically abuses your loved one.
- A doctor administers too high dosage of sedative resulting in death. This is often referred to as "mercy killing."
Because of our experience and skill in building cases, we are able to successfully handle these and other similar claims of nursing home negligence. Whether we negotiate a fair settlement or take your case to court, we are here to assist you in recovering the compensation your loved one deserves.
