What are some common cases of nursing home abuse and neglect?

Nursing homes care for some of the most susceptible members of society. Given their deteriorating physical health and failing mental capacity, they deserve the utmost care and protection. Our attorneys have represented families in cases involving:

• The wrongful death of a family member
• A fall out of bed, bedsore, bruise, and burn
• Illness caused by malnutrition and dehydration
• A change in mental health or personality
• Nursing home injury caused by a medication error or nursing error

Protecting your loved one from injury

One important responsibility of nursing home staff is to protect people from injuring themselves. As people age, they fail to recognize the dangers to them. Each patient should have a complete medical care plan that needs alterations after each change in a patient's condition. Nursing home staff has the responsibility to follow this plan while keeping your family member safe.
