This high turnover creates a shortage of staff and an inadequately trained staff. Not all warning signs of nursing home abuse and neglect are obvious, and mistreatment can take many forms, including physical abuse, neglect, and verbal or emotional abuse. All incidents should be investigated whether or not you are certain nursing home abuse is occurring. Types of injures include: Bed sores from lack of turning Improper administration of medication Dehydration / Malnutrition Broken bones or other complications due to falls Unsanitary conditions leading to infections Urinary tract infections Unexplained bruises (from dropping patients) Pneumonia Wrongful death Uncovering Negligence As seasoned Ohio nursing home negligence and wrongful death lawyers, we are well aware of the tactics a nursing home may use to cover up nursing home malpractice. Nursing homes may go to great lengths to avoid losing their license and to avoid the negative repercussions of a lawsuit. Unfortunately, in order to avoid such consequences, records sometimes go missing or are changed while sudden staff turnover removes witnesses. When it could help a case, we hire investigators, handwriting analysts, and other forensics experts to aid in the exposure of procedural and protocol violations and inconsistencies in records and documentation. Our geriatrics and medical specialists explain lapses in care and how such negligence led to our client's injuries.
