Tampa Nursing Home Death Lawyer
Representation for Families of Victims of Nursing Home Wrongful Death
When a person places a loved one in a nursing home, they do so with the expectation that their loved one will be treated properly, with respect and kindness, and that they will receive the medical attention they need. Unfortunately, instances of nursing home abuse and neglect continue to occur every day. Not only can acts of abuse and neglect lead to physical injuries and psychological trauma, but they can also result in the accidental death of a resident as well. When a nursing home resident is killed due to abuse and/or neglect, his or her beneficiaries have the right to take legal action against both the nursing home and the individual staff member(s) responsible.
If your loved one was killed as a result of nursing home abuse or neglect, you have the right to be compensated for your loss. However, in order to successfully recover damages, you must prove that your loved one’s death was caused by some form of abuse or negligence on the part of the nursing home or one of its staff members. Examples of nursing home abuse and neglect that can result in wrongful death include:
- Physical abuse (such as hitting, kicking, punching, beating, pushing, shoving, etc.)
- Sexual abuse
- Neglect
- Failure to provide a resident with food and water
- Failure to treat an infection, wound, or bed sore
- Failure to give a resident his or her medication
- Failure to ensure a resident is washed and bathed on a regular basis
