Carrollton Elder Abuse and Neglect Attorneys
The provision of an appropriate standard of medical treatment and health care to nursing home residents is the professional responsibility of health care workers. Where they have failed to provide this level of care, they are liable for injuries caused by their negligence, including:
- Bed sores or falls
- Dehydration and malnutrition
- Injuries caused by inadequately applied physical restraints
- Improper dosage of medication
In many cases, the reason for this kind of nursing home abuse and neglect stems from overworked and poorly trained staff at a facility. Diligence in protecting residents from injuries caused by negligence and abuse is also the responsibility of health care administrators, who may be more concerned about profits than proper care.
Our nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers also handle cases involving sexual and physical nursing home abuse of long-term residents.
