Nursing home abuse

---

The quality of care rendered to the youngest, sickest, or oldest citizens, since they are unable to care for themselves, determines the strength of our State. Unfortunately, the quality of care given in nursing homes is presently considered a disgrace by many. Nursing Home neglect injuries are suffered in surprising frequency, increasingly resulting in a loss of dignity, self-respect, and quality of life for our loved ones.
Our firm investigates and reviews potential nursing home neglect lawsuits for injuries suffered as a result of inadequate care provided at nursing homes, hospitals, and long term assisted living facilities throughout Arkansas. Pursuing a lawsuit against a nursing home not only provides compensation for the victim or the victim’s family but also operates as an essential safeguard in our community to ensure that proper standards are enforced in the industry.
Types of Neglect Cases ReviewedMany of the injuries suffered as a result of neglect come failure to staff the facility adequately. Those injuries can be painful, debilitating, and sometimes life-threatening. Nursing home and other similar type facilities neglect cases investigated by our firm include:

• Bedsores (also known as pressure sores)
• Dehydration and malnutrition
• Abuse and assault
• Restraint injuries and strangulation
• Falls and fractures
• Wandering and leaving the facility
• Wrongful death
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
• Prescription errors
• Other cases of medical neglect
