Do You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse Or Neglect?
Negligence in nursing homes and from home health care puts the well-being of your loved one at serious risk of injury and even death.
Nursing home abuse and neglect should be taken very seriously.
Ensuring the health and safety of your loved one is top priority, but holding the nursing home accountable, and pursuing justice and compensation is also an important step. If you or a loved one has been a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, our attorneys will help get you the compensation you deserve.
There’s No Excuse For Nursing Home Negligence
We will aggressively pursue your claims for injury or wrongful death that occurred in a nursing home. These claims can include:
- Falls and fractures: If an elderly individual is not properly supported or supervised when standing or walking, they can fall and break numerous bones. This can complicate their already fragile health.
- Dehydration and malnourishment: When a nursing home resident’s food and water intake is below a healthy level, they can become malnourished and/or dehydrated which can ultimately lead to additional health complications or even death.
- Infections: Any type of infection, whether it is an illness or within a wound, can be fatal to an elderly individual. Infections must be identified and treated swiftly to avoid further complications, such as sepsis.
- Pressure sores or bedsores: Laying in bed all day or sitting in one position can cause bedsores or pressure sores to develop in the area that supports the most weight of the body. These can be very painful and can easily become infected, leading to serious injury or death.
No matter what type of injury occurred, we will fight the nursing home, insurance companies and other involved parties on your behalf to obtain the maximum compensation.
