When you placed your loved one in a nursing home, you expected their needs would be taken care of and they would be protected from harm. Instead, negligence on the part of the nursing home has lead to your family member's wrongful death. When those charged with caring for nursing home residents cause their deaths through abuse or neglect, they deserve to be held accountable.
At The Leader Law Firm, in association with Aiken & Scoptur, our Arizona nursing home wrongful death lawyers help nursing home residents and their families pursue personal injury and wrongful death claims for abuse and neglect. For a free consultation, contact us today.
Fatal Nursing Home Injuries
Because they are often frail and infirm, nursing home residents are vulnerable to injury and neglect. A circumstance that would not significantly harm a young, healthy person can prove fatal to a nursing home resident. The following are a few types of nursing home injuries that are particularly likely to result in fatalities:
- Nursing home elopement/wandering off
- Bedsores
- Malnutrition/dehydration
- Nursing home falls
Nursing home fatalities can occur for a number of reasons. One of the most common reasons is understaffing or inadequate training of staff members.
Our firm helps families pursue wrongful death claims for deaths caused by nursing home neglect and abuse. While no amount of money can compensate for the loss of a loved one, money is unfortunately the only language that some nursing homes understand.
