Nursing Home Abuse: How to Detect It and What You Can Do

Leaving an aging loved one in the care of strangers is a scary thing to do, especially when thousands of elders each year do not receive adequate care.

Understaffed nursing homes can lead to injuries and poor quality of life for patients left unattended, or even abuse at the hands of the staff. Especially considering the incredibly high cost of elder care, there no excuse for a nursing home to get rich while neglecting its patients it may only view as profit centers.

According to the Nursing Home Abuse Center, signs of nursing home abuse include:

Unusual Bruising or Bleeding
Open Wounds, Bed Sores or Cuts
Burns and Abrasions
Sudden and Unexplained Change in Weight
Soiling, Poor Hygiene and the Smell of Urine or Feces
Infections
Loss of Hair
Torn, Stained or Bloody Clothing or Bedding

Less obvious signs of abuse may include:

Listlessness or Unresponsiveness
Childishness or Other Strange Behavior
Physical or Emotional Withdrawal
Personal Items Going Missing
Unusual Financial Transactions

If you suspect nursing home abuse, ensure the safety of your loved one, then consult AR White Law at
502.882.7552 and get aggressive representation for your family’s nursing home abuse claim.

Suspicious behavior on the part of the nursing home staff may also be cause for concern. For example, if the staff denies or delays access to your loved one during regular visiting hours, or if a staff member refuses to leave the room during your visit, you may want to begin asking questions.

Understanding Product Liability Law and Damages

Defective and dangerous products cause thousands of injuries in the United States each year. Product liability law is designed to hold manufacturers and sellers accountable for putting these products into the hands of consumers.

There are a number of causes on which to build a product liability claim, including:

Design or Manufacturing Defects
Failure to Warn the Consumer of Dangerous Products
Negligence
Breach of Warranty

It’s not just household objects like toys and electronics that are covered under product liability law. Pharmaceuticals are also a common cause for litigation, typically under “failure to warn” claims, for failing to properly inform doctors and patients of inherent dangers in drugs. Even large objects, like cars, can be the subject of a product liability case; SUVs that are prone to rollover are a prime example.

Product liability law varies from state to state and can be difficult to understand. If you have been injured by a defective or dangerous product, you are likely eligible for damages. Let AR White Law help you understand your rights and get you the maximum settlement you deserve. Consultation on all cases is free of charge.
