As adults get older, their aging parents quickly become senior citizens. Unfortunately, this stage of life can bring increased care needs and difficult decisions, such as selecting a long-term care facility. Understandably, families entrust nursing homes to provide attentive care. That doesn’t always happen.
Dayson Shalabi Burkett Law Firm, LLC (DSB Law Firm), doesn’t let nursing home mistreatment go unanswered. Our nursing home neglect lawyers are familiar with the signs to look for, know how to conduct thorough investigations (even when nursing homes aren’t cooperating), and understand how to hold those responsible accountable.
Neglect can come in many forms in a nursing home setting. A subtle example would be accidentally giving a patient their medication an hour late. In other cases, it’s shockingly serious.
Examples can include:
We understand the raw anger and emotions felt after learning your loved ones are being neglected. Filing a claim isn’t only about potential compensation—it’s about protecting the older adults in your life and stopping these incidents from happening to others.
Yes. Increasing the legitimacy of your claim involves gathering and submitting evidence of suspected patient mistreatment. Our nursing home neglect lawyers can guide your family through navigating what’s often a complex process.
Neglect occurs when a care facility fails to fulfill its essential duties. It isn’t always obvious, but the effects are severe. Residents depend on staff to keep them safe. Simple as that. When someone needs help and no one answers, that’s neglect. When safety steps are skipped or ignored, people get hurt. Alarms go off. No one comes. Sometimes, abuse is reported, and nothing’s done. That’s how harm continues. It’s preventable. It’s unacceptable.
