Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing Home Abuse

Bringing a nursing home abuse claim or nursing home neglect claim can be a very complex road. Florida has enacted some of the strictest, pro-nursing home company, nursing home lawsuit requirements in the nation, which often make bringing a claim very difficult.  In addition to hiring the appropriate expert to review the case, to complicated pre-lawsuit rules, you need an experienced nursing home abuse lawyer on your side to have a fighting chance of victory.

In order to protect your loved one in a nursing home setting, family members should actively look for signs of physical abuse, such as fractures, bruises, sprains, dislocations, sores, cuts or scratches, head injuries, pain symptoms.

If medication is not timely or properly provided or administered, then the resident can suffer from severe side effects of under- or over-medication, such as heart attack, stroke, internal bleeding, unconsciousness, or death.
 
Additionally, a resident can fall victim to deceptive practices, fraud, or financial exploitation. Improper or unauthorized use of a resident’s financial information, funds, access to the resident’s checking or banking accounts, credit cards, are other forms of this kind of abuse.

Nursing Home Lawsuit

When we entrust our loved ones to 24-hour, around-the-clock care, to nursing homes and assisted living facilities, we rightly expect these facilities, their administration and staff, to comply with basic human decency and the minimum standards governing care. None of use expects our family member to become a victim inside the walls of a nursing homes or assisted living facility where care is the fundamental basis for admission.
