Nursing Home Negligence

Don’t sign anything before talking to an experienced nursing home negligence attorney from D’Amore & Associates to determine an appropriate course of action.

The attorneys at D’Amore & Associates are experienced in claims regarding nursing home abuse and negligence. They understand the feelings of anguish over the thought of a parent’s or loved one’s neglect. Patients residing in nursing homes and specialized care facilities deserve to be safe and treated respectfully.

Nursing home negligence occurs when a resident is abused or neglected in a nursing home. Sadly, nursing home negligence can result in nursing home deaths.

Often, residents or their loved one suffer falls resulting in broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, or other serious injury. One of our clients came to us after the death of his elderly parent. His father wandered off premisis due to poor supervision, and died shortly after suffering a terrible head injury and enduring cold temperatures.

If a nursing home fails to care for you or your loved one in a professional and compassionate manner, and if you or your loved one has suffered from inadequate care, you may be entitled to compensation.

There are a number of signs of nursing home abuse and negligence, including:

• Malnutrition
• Falls
• Bed sores
• Signs of abuse such as unexplained bruises, cuts, burns, or restraint burns
• Sexual assault
• Wandering off the premises as a result of unlocked doors and poor supervision
• Medical negligence
• Medication errors

Like the insurance industry, the nursing home industry has become a multi-billion dollar business comprised of corporations. Unfortunately, efficiency and profitability have often become more important than administering proper care.
