Nursing home or hospital staff are responsible to ensure the safety and well-being of their residents and patients. When proper standards of care are ignored and your loved one suffers, he or she may be entitled to compensation. At Graves Richard Harris LLP we stand up for the rights of elderly patients and nursing home residents in southwestern Ontario who have become the victims of nursing home negligence.
Protecting Victims of Nursing Home Negligence
When standards of care are not followed, nursing home residents or hospital patients can suffer painful injuries or even wrongful death. Common cases of nursing home negligence include:
- Lack of supervision
- Medication errors
- Failure to follow unique care needs or prescriptions
- Inadequate facilities
- Poorly trained staff or under-staffing
- Unsanitary conditions
If these problems are not addressed, residents could have a greater risk of developing bedsores, experiencing a slip-and-fall accident or suffering from dehydration or malnutrition, among other serious concerns.
While our firm does not handle cases involving medical malpractice, we are fully prepared to represent your rights against nursing homes who have failed to properly care for an elderly relative or other dependant family member. Our St. Catharines lawyers will investigate your nursing home neglect claim and work diligently to obtain maximum compensation to which you may be entitled.
