Washington DC Nursing Home Injuries Lawyer
Dehydration, malnutrition, and pressure sores are only a few issues that can go on in nursing home abuse cases. If you or your loved one fell victim to nursing home negligence, contact our experienced attorneys today to fight back.
Nursing home abuse among our seniors is on the rise. One out of four nursing homes is cited for causing death or injury to a resident. Studies have shown that the most common forms of physical abuse were restraining patients beyond what was needed to ensure their safety; pushing, grabbing, shoving or punching; hitting the patient with an object; and throwing something at the patient (1%).
Abuse can take many forms - from emotional and financial abuse and neglect to physical assault. Because seniors often suffer from dementia or disabilities, they become even more vulnerable to abuse. Please contact our firm; if you suspect abuse, we are here to help.
Common signs of abuse may include:
- Physical Injuries (hitting, slapping, shaking, or nonconsensual sexual contact)
- Emotional or Behavioral Changes (yelling, swearing, humiliation, and threats)
- Broken bones
- Neglect
- Bed sores and bruises
- Medication overdose
- Head injury
- Dehydration or malnourishment
- Poor hygiene
- Soiled bedding
- Agitation, withdrawal or fear
- Frequent crying
- Complaints of poor treatment
