Nursing Home Abuse
Elderly citizens rely on nursing homes to take care of them and provide much needed living assistance and medical care. Nursing home abuse or neglect can include the following:
- Overmedication
- Lack of hygiene
- Physical abuse
- Emotional abuse
- Financial abuse
- Neglect
- Sexual abuse
- Harmful use of constraints
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
Nursing home abuse injuries can be very serious, leading to severe injury or loss of life. Many elderly patients are unable to communicate that they are the victim of abuse, either due to a medical or cognitive condition, humiliation, or fear. We have over 25 years of experience in personal injury law and are prepared to pursue justice in these terrible injury cases. If you suspect your loved one is the victim of abuse, and the warning signs are there, such as unhygienic conditions, bruising, flinching, malnutrition, dehydration, overmedication, or other indicator of abuse or neglect, you must act quickly before further damage is done. Notify the authorities and contact our firm at once.
