Learn About What Nursing Home Medical Malpractice Entails

Nursing home medical malpractice occurs when facilities fail to provide adequate care, leading to injury or harm. This neglect may be unintentional or the result of cost-cutting measures, poor staff training, or intentional misconduct. Families often uncover such neglect too late, but knowing what to look for can make a critical difference.

Common Examples of Medical Malpractice in Nursing Homes

Nursing home malpractice can have devastating consequences. Examples of nursing home malpractice include

01.

Medication Errors:
This includes prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or medications that interact harmfully.

02.

Failure to Treat Health Problems:
Neglecting to treat or prevent issues like infections, bedsores, or mobility challenges.

03.

Failure to Provide Basic Rights:
Residents are entitled to privacy, protection of personal property, and dignity—rights often violated.

04.

Warning Signs of Neglect and Abuse, You Should Not Ignore

Be vigilant for warning signs, including unexplained weight changes, dehydration, malnutrition, infections, bedsores, and poor hygiene. Each of these may signal deeper issues requiring immediate legal action.

Your Rights to Justice: The Process of Filing a Lawsuit

Victims of nursing home neglect have legal options. Filing a lawsuit often results in settlements outside of court, and data shows plaintiffs win nearly 90 percent of cases that proceed to trial. Seeking compensation not only brings justice but also helps prevent future incidents.
