Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers

Orlando, Florida

For many families, when the needs and care of a loved grow to be more than they can handle, nursing homes provide the assistance the family is no longer able to give.  Unfortunately, not all nursing homes provide the care that families expect.

Nursing home patients are among the most vulnerable individuals in our society.  Like children in their dependence on others, they cannot fend for themselves and must rely on assistance and care from those around them.

We have represented numerous victims of nursing home abuse and neglect and have been able to achieve verdicts and settlements in nursing home abuse lawsuits ranging from several hundred thousand dollars to well over $1,000,000.  We understand how vulnerable nursing home patients are, and we are committed to ensuring that anybody who harms one of our clients pays the price.  More of our verdicts and settlements

While most nursing homes treat their patients with respect, many nursing homes are understaffed or hire inexperienced employees.  In some cases, nursing homes actually hire staff who can be abusive to the patients.  Regardless of the reasons, when a nursing home fails to provide the care and aid that is expected of them – whether the failure is one of neglect or abuse – the nursing homes may be held liable for the consequences. 

Nursing home negligence can include emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, as well as just the failure to provide proper care for nursing home residents.  As a family member of a nursing home patient, you need to be aware of how your loved one is being treated.  One of the best ways to prevent nursing home abuse or neglect is to watch for common symptoms of nursing home abuse and neglect, including:

1. Severe Weight Loss and Malnutrition
2. Inattentive Staff – Failure to answer call lights
3. Poor Hygiene
4. Bedsores, Decubitus Pressure Ulcers
5. Unsanitary Facility
6. Falls, Fractures
7. Dehydration, Infections, Sepsis
8. Bruises and Unexplained Injuries
9. Attacks by Staff and other Patients
10. Theft of personal Property
11. Lack of Communication
12. Illegal Restraints
13. Strange Behavior Changes
