How Will An Attorney Help?

A wrongful death case involving nursing home staff and facilities can become incredibly complex. It can be hard for an individual to properly investigate what happened. Your nursing home wrongful death lawyer in Fullerton will have the resources to:

Obtain all evidence related to the case, including medical records, facility records, staff training records, and more.

Nursing Home Wrongful Death Cases Can Be Devastating

You should be able to trust nursing home personnel to care for your loved one’s day-to-day needs. This can include administering their medications, bathing, feeding, and monitoring their vital signs and health. If a nursing home’s staff is poorly trained or neglectful, they put lives at risk.

Residents in a nursing home are more vulnerable than the rest of the population. The following can all lead to the death of a nursing home resident:

Abuse: Physically assaulting a vulnerable person is wrong and can have deadly consequences. This includes slapping, punching, shoving, and more.
Neglect: Nursing home staff can jeopardize a resident’s life by failing to provide for their basic needs, including administering medical care, providing food and water, proper clothing, regular bathing, and shelter.
Failing to call emergency services: In some cases, nursing home staff may not call 911 quickly enough because they underestimate a resident’s medical emergency or because they want to cover up abuse or neglect.

Choosing the right nursing home for your loved ones is a personal (and tough) decision. It is something you must decide on your own, or with the rest of your family. With that in mind, however, there are a few resources you can use to help with the decision.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System provided by the state of California lets you search for different types of health facilities, including nursing homes. The Medicare website also provides a tool for finding nursing homes.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System also lets you search for complaints against said facilities. You can use this tool to check on any homes you might be considering and see if complaints have been filed against them.
Remember, if you suspect any form of elderly abuse or negligence has occurred, trust your instincts and call us at Siegel Law. 562-414-5294
Pressure sores, also called bed sores and pressure ulcers, are a common sign of nursing home abuse or neglect. They are caused by unrelieved pressure on the skin. Bed sores typically appear near areas where the bones are close to the skin: the hips, back, elbows, and ankles. When pressure sores first show up, they’re just skin irritation. With prompt treatment, they typically have no lasting effects. When not treated quickly, however, later stages can result in serious damage not only to the skin but also to muscle and bone.
The greatest tragedy of pressure sores is that they are relatively easy to prevent. Regular movement of a person restricted to a bed or wheelchair can help avoid pressure sores. Someone who must remain in bed should be moved about every two hours. The use of a pressure-reducing mattress can help. A proper diet, cleanliness, and daily exercise all help prevent pressure sores and eliminate the serious harm that can accompany them.
The answer is no. Siegel Law takes all cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that our clients owe the firm nothing for expenses unless they are awarded a monetary settlement or we receive a favorable verdict at trial. All expenses will be deducted from the settlement or jury verdict. Not a dime will be taken out of your pocket.
