| Nursing
home negligence occurs when a resident is abused or neglected in
a nursing home. Nursing home negligence can result in nursing home
deaths, falls resulting in broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration,
decubitus ulcers and residents wandering off the nursing home premises
and injuring themselves.
If a nursing home fails to administer care in a professional
and compassionate manner, and you or your loved one has suffered
from inadequate care, you may be entitled to compensation. It
is important to thoroughly understand the warning signs of potential
nursing home negligence.
Because the nursing home industry has become a multi-billion
dollar business comprised of major corporations, efficiency and
profitability have often become more important than administering
proper care. For this reason, both federal and state governments
have introduced legislation to protect residents of nursing homes.
