Abuse & Neglect in Nursing Homes in Miami-Dade and Broward County Areas

Nursing home abuse and neglect is one of the least-reported personal injury cases reported in America today, mainly due to the dependent status of victims who are unable to care for themselves and may be unable to communicate their need for rescue in cases of abuse, mistreatment or neglect. Negligent nursing home staff often has the upper-hand with regard to protecting their secret abuse, and may take a variety of measure to ensure that they are not caught. In some cases, nursing home staff may delay or even revoke visitation if there is visible indication of abuse. In situations where visitation is inevitable, residents may be over-medicated to the point where they cannot communicate their own distress. Nursing home neglect and abuse is a serious charge, and the sooner you enlist the services of a skilled Miami-Dade personal injury lawyer, the better your chances for success.

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Miami-Dade County

There are many motives for committing nursing home abuse, although none are acceptable in the eyes of the law. Nursing homes can be over-populated and under-staffed, leading to increased healthcare provider stress and loss of patience resulting in physical abuse. Some nursing home staff may have a personal problem with a specific resident based on a previous relationship or contempt for a visiting relative. Other forms of medical negligence may be less nefarious in terms of general negligence, but can have serious consequences that may lead to infection, illness and death. These and all other types of nursing home abuse and negligence must be identified and exposed, not only so the victims can begin their recoveries, but also so these establishments can be reprimanded and resolved or eliminated.
