How Do I Know If Negligence Actually Occurred
It is never easy to learn that your loved one has been abused, especially when you placed them in a nursing home you considered to be trustworthy. In most cases, abuse or neglect could have been prevented, so it is important that the wrongful parties are held accountable for their actions. There are various types of abuse that can occur in a nursing facility, and while no two situations are alike, we have experience advocating on behalf of clients who have suffered:
- Emotional abuse
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Financial abuse
- Lack of medication or overmedication
- Withholding of food and water
- Unnecessary use of restraints or force
It may not always be completely noticeable that your loved one is suffering from abuse or neglect, but some signs to watch for include unexplained bruises or cuts, a sudden change in behavior, unexplainable weight loss, or withdraws from a back account that were not made by the account's owner. If you suspect abuse or neglect, do not hesitate to contact The King Law Firm right away.
