As if the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home or other assisted care nursing facility isn't difficult enough for family members, it is especially troubling to learn that your loved one is suffering nursing home abuse or neglect at the hands of those who have a duty per both state and federal law to provide proper care for patients. Neglect may be evidenced in a variety of ways. We handle nursing home abuse and medical malpractice claims involving issues related to malnutrition and dehydration, bed sores, unsanitary conditions leading to infections, complications due to falls out of bed or out of a wheelchair, and other issues. There can be any number of factors contributing to nursing home abuse or neglect of residents, including:
Often nursing home abuse goes unreported. Residents either are embarrassed to report the abuse they suffered themselves, or they fear the repercussions of reporting the abuse of another resident to which they were a witness. At Bell & Bands, we work diligently to uncover negligence and expose the facts. Nursing homes don't want to lose their license to operate, and they don't want the negative attention a lawsuit brings. Unfortunately, to avoid such occurrences, records sometimes go missing or are changed while sudden staff turnover removes witnesses. As nursing home negligence lawyers, we're prepared for these and other kinds of similar tactics. When your loved one has suffered neglect or mental or physical abuse in a nursing home, our nursing home negligence lawyers at Bell & Bands strive to protect the well-being and dignity of your loved one and aggressively pursue your case involving abuse or negligence. Dependent elderly should be able to live their lives free from pain, suffering, and distress caused by the negligence or abuse or others.
