Was It an Accident or was it Nursing Home Negligence or Abuse?
People who live in nursing homes or assisted living facilities and long-term care facilities are naturally vulnerable to injuries, falls and illnesses. An injury alone does not mean that negligence or abuse has occurred. But families should be aware of the possibility that:
- An unexplained injury may be a sign of physical abuse or sexual abuse
- When a person with dementia wanders away from the facility, that is a strong indicator of neglect, and that
- An unexplained death may be the result of a nursing failure
There are tell-tale signs that family members can look for to determine if an injury was accidental or was caused by negligence or abuse, but most people are not aware of the signs until after the damage has been done.
When in doubt, talk to a lawyer with the resources to investigate and the determination to take action. At Solomon & Relihan, we help the victims of nursing home negligence and their families hold nursing homes accountable for a wide range of harms:
- Bed sores / pressure sores and infections
- Falls resulting in broken hips, broken arms and other fractures
- Dehydration and malnutrition
- Overmedication
- Failure to follow care plans leading to worsened medical condition
