Justice For Your Loved One After A Nursing Home Death
Nursing homes are entrusted with the care and safety of our loved ones during their golden years, providing them with comfort, dignity, and protection. Tragically, when that trust is broken and a loved one loses their life due to negligence or abuse, the impact can be devastating for families.
We are committed to holding negligent nursing homes accountable for the wrongful deaths of residents. While no legal action can bring your loved one back, pursuing justice can get a sense of closure, provide financial relief, and send a powerful message to prevent future harm.
Common Causes Of Nursing Home Deaths
The loss of a loved one in a nursing home often raises questions about what went wrong. Our experienced attorneys thoroughly investigate the circumstances of each case to uncover negligence, misconduct, or abuse that may have led to the tragedy.
Neglect
- Bedsores and Infections: Residents left in bed for prolonged periods without proper care may develop painful pressure sores that can lead to fatal infections.
- Dehydration and Malnutrition: Failing to provide adequate food and water can weaken a resident's health, leading to preventable death.
- Lack of Supervision: Residents left unattended may fall, wander into dangerous areas, or miss critical medical care.
Abuse
- Physical Abuse: Staff members who physically harm residents may cause fatal injuries, including falls or internal trauma.
- Emotional Abuse: Prolonged emotional abuse can exacerbate existing health conditions and lead to premature death.
Medical Errors
- Medication Mistakes: Providing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or missing scheduled treatments can have life-threatening consequences.
- Failure to Address Health Issues: Ignoring or mismanaging severe medical conditions can result in a resident's preventable passing.
We understand that some nursing homes may attempt to hide the truth to avoid accountability. Our team is dedicated to uncovering what happened and building a strong claim to secure justice for your family.
Compensation For Nursing Home Wrongful Death Claims
Families affected by a wrongful death in a nursing home may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Costs of hospital stays, treatments, or medications leading up to the resident's passing.
- Funeral and Burial Costs: Financial relief for the costs of laying your loved one to rest.
- Emotional Distress: Compensation for the emotional pain, grief, and suffering caused by your loss.
- Loss of Companionship: Recognition of the void left by the absence of your loved one's care and presence.
Our goal is to help your family secure the financial support you need to move forward and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
