Nursing Home Negligence, Neglect and Abuse
Open sores. Unexplained bruises or fractures. Loss of weight or appetite. Sudden sadness, silence or personality change. There may be valid explanations relating to age or disease, or these may be signs of poor care or abuse. We investigate all types of nursing home negligence resulting in physical injury, death or other compensable harm:
- Advanced stage bed sores (pressure ulcers)
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Undiagnosed medical conditions
- Medication errors or overmedication
- Falls from bed; falls from walking without assistance
- Excessive restraint or physical abuse
- Emotional abuse and punishment
- Wandering off the premises
- Assault/sexual assault by staff, visitors or residents
Nursing home negligence often stems from understaffing, unqualified staff, poor medical supervision and sloppy administration. Our experienced lawyers secure medical records, check the criminal backgrounds of employees and managers, and research health code violations and similar claims of abuse or neglect.
