Attorneys Advocating For Nursing Home Patients Suffering From Medical Neglect
Even if you conducted careful research when choosing a nursing home for your aging loved one, you might not have been given an accurate picture of the facility or the care it provides. Many nursing homes fail to provide the level of care and monitoring that they claim they do.
As a result, untold numbers of nursing home residents are injured (or worse) each year because the nursing home failed to adequately monitor them. If you know or suspect a loved one was harmed because of the nursing home’s negligent monitoring practices, Carter Law Offices is ready to help you seek justice and compensation.
Consequences And Signs Of Medical Neglect In Nursing Homes
Most nursing homes do not have doctors on staff. Instead, they rely on nurses and staff members to monitor residents. Nurses and staff members must closely monitor all residents to determine any changes in a resident’s health. When staff fail to monitor residents, they can suffer serious injuries, such as:
- Bed sores
- Illness
- Falling injuries
- Malnutrition and/or dehydration
Carter Law Offices represents people across Kansas City and beyond who have been injured as the result of nursing home negligence.
Too Many Nursing Homes Prioritize Profits Over Patient Safety
Nursing homes are businesses. These entities often cut costs whenever the law allows, and in some cases, where the law does not allow. These institutions will staff as few members as possible in order to minimize their costs and maximize their profits. When too few staff members are entrusted to monitor too many residents, the common result is that avoidable injuries and illnesses occur and then are not reported and treated in a timely fashion.
Our law firm will undertake a complete investigation of how and why your loved one was injured. If the nursing home was not appropriately staffed, we will find it out. We are dedicated to helping you get full damages. Our on-staff registered nurse can help assess the severity of the injury and appropriate monetary damages for the medical treatment and reduced quality of life from a serious injury.
