Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing home personal injury or wrongful death cases arise when a resident suffers harm due to neglect, abuse, or unsafe conditions. These cases often involve elderly or vulnerable individuals, which can increase the severity of the harm and legal consequences.
Nursing Home Cases We Handle
Bedsores or Pressure Ulcers
Nursing home residents developing bedsores or pressure ulcers, especially on their heels and sacrum (low back just above the buttocks) is one of the most common types of nursing home abuse cases. Bedsores or pressure ulcers develop from immobility if the resident is not moved, turned, or able to stand. Bedsores or pressure ulcers can be very painful and require extensive medical care and treatment.
Medication Errors
Giving the wrong medication, giving the wrong dose of medication, or failing to give medication prescribed by a physician are common types of nursing home cases.
Falls
Falls often result from unsafe environments in a nursing home, such as wet floors, poor lighting, or lack of grab bars, or because a resident is not supervised and attempts to get up to go to the bathroom. Falls in an elderly resident can lead to hip fractures, head trauma, and other orthopedic injuries.
