Neglect

Poor hygiene, bedsores, malnutrition, dehydration, or missed medications.

Why Nursing Home Abuse Occurs

Nursing home abuse is often rooted in corporate priorities that put profits over patient well-being:
  • Understaffing — Facilities reduce expenses by hiring fewer workers than needed
  • Inadequate Training — Workers lacking sufficient experience and proper training
  • Hidden Arbitration Clauses — Contracts that hide abuse from public view through nondisclosure agreements

Compensation You May Recover

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Punitive damages (in some cases)
  • Loss of quality of life
