Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Introduction. Getting older is a part of life. What do you do when you rely on a nursing home facility to take care of a beloved parent and it negligently allows your loved one to become injured or perhaps die? Nursing home abuse and neglect is common because of inadequate care provided by facilities to their residents.

Nursing Home Injuries. Nursing home residents can suffer injuries because of negligence on the part of the facility. Such injuries include:

  • Bed sores
  • Infections
  • Broken hips
  • Medication overdoses
  • Ulcers
  • Neglect. Some nursing homes do not adequately train their staff to appropriately care for its residents. This results in horrifying neglect of our most beloved family members. Such neglect issues that can occur include

  • Failure to monitor a patient's whereabouts
  • Understaffed and undertrained facility
  • Too many patients
  • Nursing errors
  • Results. Our loved ones are important to us. Our attorneys are able to handle these cases and get you the compensation you deserve. We have obtained six figure results for our clients. We are willing and able to try cases in court that do not settle fairly.
