Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Texarkana Nursing Home Neglect Attorney

The unfortunate fact of many nursing home negligence cases is that victims are not in a position to recognize or report the abuse themselves. Likewise, many family members initially do not want to believe that the facility they trusted to take care of an aging family member is now abusing them in some way. If your loved one has suffered a nursing home injury, waiting until you are certain they are being abused only ensures that more abuse will take place.

At the Law Office of Hawley Holman, my experience with personal injury cases includes thousands of claims and a background representing clients on both sides of the courtroom aisle. Today, I put my knowledge of opposing counsels' strategies to use in representing families and individuals throughout East Texas and Southwest Arkansas. Common examples of nursing home neglect and abuse include:

• Pressure Sore/Bed Sore Injury/Decubitus Ulcer
• Malnutrition and Dehydration/Improper Feeding
• Falls
• Unexplained Injuries, Bruises or Fractures
• Physical/Sexual Abuse by Staff/Assault by Other Residents
• Wandering/Elopement Injuries
• Dignitary Injuries/Privacy Claims
• Failure to Provide Appropriate Services - Rehabilitation/Contractures
• Injuries from Staff Neglect
• Improper Use of Restraints (Chemical & Physical)
• Improper Administration of Medications/Medication Errors
• Theft of Resident Belongings
• Economic Exploitation of Elderly/Billing and Financial Medicare/Medicaid Fraud

What is critically important in any case of alleged nursing home neglect is the careful examination of ALL of the person's medical records. These include records from previous health care providers as well as intake exam results, plan of care, nurse's notes, dietician's records, ADL flow sheets, and all other documentation from the facility in question. However, gathering all of the pertinent information requires prompt action on your part.
