Danbury Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Identifying Nursing Home Abuse and Your Legal Options

Nursing homes have the duty to protect their wards, offering them the care and respect they need. Anyone placed in a nursing home, whether elderly or incapacitated, is entitled to be treated with dignity and appropriate medical treatment.

When a nursing home fails to do so, they can be held liable for any failure to take care of their patients, or for actual abuse inflicted upon them. A Danbury nursing home abuse lawyer from Jowdy & Jowdy can assist you in pursuing the nursing home against any damages they may have committed against your loved one.

Common Forms of Nursing Home Abuse

Some forms that neglect and abuse of patients can take include:

  • Overmedication
  • Dehydration
  • Bed sores
  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Emotional abuse
  • Improper nutrition

When your loved one is facing mistreatment and harm, the nursing home must be held accountable for their actions. Your personal injury legal representative can ensure their negligence is brought to light and appropriate legal action taken to protect them.

Fighting for the Rights of Victims: How a Danbury Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Can Help

Many individuals in a nursing home cannot speak for themselves, whether through diminished mental capacity or serious illness. It is important for family members to be aware of how their loved ones are being treated and ensure there are no signs of mistreatment, such as frequent falls, obvious signs of overmedication, bed sores or lack of appetite due to poor nutrition.

Let the attorneys from the firm enable you to take proactive measures to protect your family members or pursue compensation for any harm done to them. This can include the cost of additional medical treatment as well as for any pain and emotional suffering they may have endured due to the abuse. They are ready to meet with you to discuss your loved one's situation in a free initial consultation.
