Nursing Home Injury and Elder Law Attorneys
Nevada — Utah — California — Texas — Idaho — Arizona
When family members place an elder or disabled loved one in the care of a nursing home or long-term care facility, they do so assuming that the facility provides the high level of attention and care that is mandated by law and social guidelines.
Unfortunately, care facilities sometimes fail in their obligation to protect and care for residents who are unable to completely care for themselves. Family members' uncertainty regarding their rights to monitor the care provided and the standards of care that should be provided in care facilities often results in hesitation to file a claim for nursing home abuse or neglect.
If you have questions regarding a nursing home injury or elder law in general, contact the personal injury lawyers of The Faux Law Group. A claim for damages can help to ensure better care for your loved one, provide compensation for injuries and damages, and can help hold health care organizations and caregivers responsible for the care they provide.
Know and protect your rights. For more information about nursing home abuse and neglect, call The Faux Law Group at 702-458-5790.
Common nursing home injuries include broken hips and other breaks and fractures, malnutrition, dehydration, burns, infections, pressure sores (also known as decubitus ulcers) and bedsores. Common causes of nursing home injuries include:
- Not providing basic required care to the residents
- Failure to follow a doctor's orders, including administering too little or too much medication to a resident
- Abusing a resident in any way including physical, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse
- Mistreatment, confinement, neglect and battery upon residents
- Failure to monitor a residents' whereabouts, leading to "elopement" (leaving the facility without permission or staff knowledge), falls and possible exposure to the elements outside the facility
