Cumming Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer

Protecting the Rights of the Elderly

Negligence in nursing homes is an injustice made all the more tragic due to the frequent inability of the elderly to defend themselves or speak out. When you have entrusted your loved one into the care of another, it is heartbreaking to see them treated poorly or harmed in any way. It is unacceptable for this to occur and a Cumming personal injury lawyer should be contacted immediately if you are aware of an instance of nursing home negligence. Even if you suspect that this is occurring, it is vital you take action by contacting a qualified attorney. You may be saving your loved one and others from further pain and suffering. Some examples of how negligence in a nursing home can manifest include:

Neglecting to provide necessities for daily living
Failing to ensure personal hygiene is maintained
Omissions resulting in such effects as dehydration, malnutrition or bedsores
Unsanitary or unclean buildings or premises
Conditions resulting in falls or other injuries
Lack of address of existing medical conditions
Lacking medical care and services
Dangerous or experimental drugging or medical procedures
Over-medicating or under-medicating
Unreasonable or unjustified physical restraint
Forced confinement in a room or area
Physical abuse or sexual assault of any kind
