Who Is To Blame When A Loved One Is Injured?

We can help you hold the appropriate parties accountable for your loved one’s pain and suffering.
Whether it was due to insufficient staffing, improper employee background checks, lack of training, or overcrowding, nursing homes are liable when they fail to provide appropriate care and protection to all residents and patients. Neglect, improper care and other types of abuse can lead to the following complications:
- Decubitus ulcers, also known as bedsores or pressure sores, from failing to turn and move a bedridden patient
- Health complications such as dehydration and malnutrition due to lack of nutritional care and supervision
- Physical injuries from drops, falls and lack of proper care
- Elopement, patients wandering off due to lack of supervision
Lack of supervision can lead to issues such as patients wandering off and preventable falls. In other cases, abuse includes financial exploitation or even sexual abuse.
