Experienced Texas Elder Abuse Lawyer
Handling Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Cases in Texas Since 1996
Millions of our elderly and incapacitated loved ones live in nursing homes and other assisted care facilities, and federal and state lawmakers have responded to their needs by passing hundreds of laws that, when followed, protect their safety. If your loved one has been injured or has passed away under questionable circumstances in a nursing home, it makes sense to contact an experienced nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer who can:
- Advise you regarding your rights and the rights of your loved one
- Investigate the incident
- Provide legal help in the pursuit of financial compensation, when applicable
At the Addison, Texas, law firm of Scott H. Palmer, P.C., we are skilled at fully investigating personal injury claims and at aggressively pursuing compensation for injured clients and their loved one. Do you have questions regarding nursing home abuse and negligence and:
- Bed sores? Nursing home staff can almost always prevent bed sores and accompanying infection with proper care.
- A fall? Falls in hallways, bathrooms and bed areas are often the result of negligence.
- Poor nutrition or medication errors? Nursing home staff is required to follow nutrition and hydration guidelines and to follow care guidelines as directed by doctors.
- Sexual or physical abuse? Though invariably shocking, nursing home abuse is not uncommon. Symptoms of sudden reticence, fear or injuries should be investigated immediately.
- Wandering off/"elopement"? Nursing home patients may become disoriented and wander off if poorly monitored.
Our firm has handled numerous cases involving abuse, medical malpractice, nursing home neglect and related cases. For a no-charge consultation with an experienced and professional personal injury attorney contact our north Dallas firm.
