When you make the decision to trust a nursing home with caring for one of your loved ones, you expect them to maintain a high level of professionalism, caution, and knowledge in order to best serve them. Those put in a nursing home can be somewhat weak and/or need special care that is tailored to their health or a medical condition. There are many factors to consider to ensure that your loved one is protected in the company of the nursing home workers. However, sometimes these workers fail to honor their high expectations and, consequently, care for these people with negligence or intentional harm. If your loved one has been the victim of nursing home negligence which has resulted in their death, you may consider pursuing a wrongful death case.

A wrongful death case is qualified on the basis that someone’s conduct was negligent or intentionally harmful and led to the death of your loved one. Statistics on the prevalence of nursing home abuse and negligence is surprising. According to Nursing Home Abuse Justice, they found that around 5 million elders are abused each year, however another study found that only 1 in 14 incidents of abuse are actually reported. Therefore, the 5 million figure is likely an underestimation. It is important to keep a close eye on how nursing home employees are treating their residents, because this abuse seems to occur somewhat more than we think.

Of course, you will have the assistance of your wrongful death attorney to achieve this. By obtaining expert opinions, any documented records of the resident’s stay, and more, we will be able to help you achieve some piece of mind and bring justice to whoever acted negligently.
