Neglect And Abuse Can Lead To Wrongful Death
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities have a duty to protect residents. Unfortunately, neglect and abuse by caregivers can result in fatal injuries. Common causes of wrongful death in a nursing home setting can include:
- Medical neglect: Failure to provide necessary medical care, leading to untreated infections or worsening health conditions
- Malnutrition and dehydration: Lack of proper nutrition and hydration can cause severe health complications
- Physical abuse: Assault or harm inflicted by staff or other residents can result in fatal injuries
- Falls and unsafe conditions: Poor supervision and hazardous environments increase the risk of deadly falls for vulnerable residents
- Medication errors: Incorrect dosages or improper medicine administration can have fatal consequences
When nursing homes fail to uphold their duty of care, families have the right to seek justice. Our seasoned lawyers can help you hold negligent facilities accountable and may prevent future tragedies.
