Protecting Vulnerable Adults From Elderly Abuse
If your parent or spouse was injured or killed because of nursing home negligence, you need to know that the facility and its staff will be held accountable for the negligence. Our attorneys advise clients about reporting injuries through the proper administrative channels, which can help rectify problems at a nursing home. We also guide our clients through the process of filing lawsuits against a nursing home, helping ensure that negligent parties are held accountable.
In Bailey v. Beebe Hospital, the plaintiff's mother was admitted to Beebe Medical Center and later to the hospital's wholly owned subsidiary, Lewes Convalescent Center. The mother, who suffered from Alzheimer's, walked into the convalescent center's freezer. Four hours later, she was found frozen to the floor. It took four staff members to pry her off. She survived, but suffered frostbite to her face, hands, fingers, feet and toes.
