Has a Loved One Suffered Due to Nursing Home Negligence or Abuse?
Nursing homes are entrusted with the care of our loved ones, but when they fail to meet their responsibilities, the consequences can be devastating. At Dermer Law, we fight to protect the rights of elderly residents and secure justice for victims of neglect or abuse.
Nursing home negligence and abuse occur when facilities fail to provide the standard of care expected, leading to harm, neglect, or injuries for elderly residents. Common examples include inadequate staffing, medical neglect, unsanitary conditions, or outright physical or emotional abuse. At Dermer Law, we understand how deeply personal these cases are and work tirelessly to hold negligent nursing homes accountable while securing compensation to help your family heal and move forward.
Common Types of Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse
Understanding the types of negligence or abuse that occur in nursing homes can help families recognize the warning signs and take action. Here are the most frequent cases we handle:
Medical Neglect
Failing to provide necessary medical care, such as administering medications or treating injuries, can lead to serious health complications or even death for elderly residents.
Physical Abuse
Instances of physical abuse, such as hitting, pushing, or using excessive force, can leave residents with physical and emotional scars.
Emotional and Psychological Abuse
Yelling, threatening, or isolating residents can cause significant emotional distress and degrade their quality of life.
Unsanitary Conditions
Poor hygiene and unclean living conditions can lead to infections, illnesses, and other preventable health issues.
Malnutrition and Dehydration
When residents are not provided with adequate food or water, their health can rapidly decline, causing long-term damage.
Falls and Injuries
A lack of supervision or improper safety measures can result in falls, broken bones, and other serious injuries.
Legal Rights for Nursing Home Residents
Residents of nursing homes have the right to live in a safe environment free from neglect and abuse. At Dermer Law, we help families navigate the complex legal process to ensure justice is served.
Duty of Care
Nursing homes are legally obligated to provide a standard level of care that ensures the safety and well-being of their residents.
Recognizing the Signs
Unexplained injuries, sudden emotional changes, poor hygiene, or weight loss can be signs of neglect or abuse that warrant immediate investigation.
Pursuing Compensation
Victims and their families can pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by the nursing home’s negligence.
