Nursing Home Negligence

It can be incredibly heartbreaking to see your loved one suffer from nursing home neglect or nursing home abuse. You put a great deal of trust into the nursing home facility that your loved one is in and if they break that trust, it can lead to devastating results. If your loved one has suffered an injury or death because of nursing home negligence, you may be able to seek compensation with the help of one of our personal injury attorneys.

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

There are certain warning signs that may indicate that nursing home negligence or abuse is occurring. These include:
  • Bedsores
  • Broken bones
  • Emotional withdrawal
  • Falls
  • Rapid weight loss
  • The inability of a caretaker to adequately explain the patient's condition
  • Unexplained bruises or other injuries
  • Using heavy medication or sedatives in place of supervision
