Seeking Compensation for Negligence and Mistreatment
When nursing home administrators and staff treat their patients with abuse and neglect, the results can include serious injuries, dangerous illnesses, and substantial pain and suffering. Attorney Brock represents nursing home residents in cases involving a variety of common incidents, including:
- Bed sores
- Dehydration
- Infections
- Falls
Nursing home companies are often organized in complex ways in order to reduce their liability for injuries caused by abuse or the neglect of patients. Attorney Brock has the legal skill to sort through the issues and pursue the maximum available compensation.
Carefully Investigating the Facts of Each Case
One of the most important issues in legal cases for nursing home abuse and neglect is preservation of evidence. Documents such as duty rosters, schedules and time cards play a key role in identifying the employees who were responsible for the resident's safety at the time the injury occurred.
The nursing home may claim that the records are missing, which is often a red flag that they may be trying to avoid liability. It is imperative that the nursing home be put on notice immediately to preserve all evidence, including electronic and written records, photographs, and reports.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you suspect that your parent or other loved one's injuries were caused by abuse or neglect at his or her nursing home.
