Mooresville Nursing Home Neglect Claims
Nursing Home Abuse Attorney in Mooresville
Nursing home neglect is illegal and can result in both civil and criminal sanctions depending on the case. The rights of nursing home patients are protected under both state and federal laws. These statutes were enacted to protect nursing home residents from neglect and maltreatment, and to ensure they have the quality of life they deserve. If an elder in your family is being neglected at a nursing home, contact a Mooresville personal injury attorney for legal advice. Your family member may be entitled to compensation for any injuries that resulted from the neglect, as well as pain, suffering and emotional trauma.
There are many ways a patient can be neglected in a nursing home, including:
- Failure to provide for the medical needs of the patient
- Unsanitary living conditions
- Locking a patient in their room
- Patient malnutrition and dehydration
The signs that a patient is being neglected can include withdrawal, change of personality, bed sores, unkempt appearance, weight loss, open wounds, physical injuries and poor personal hygiene. Elders deserve a life of respect and dignity, and should never be taken advantage of because of age or infirmity. Attorneys at the Law Office of William T.
