Nursing Home Negligence

The operators and staff of a nursing home, assisted living facility, or home care service are responsible for a minimum standard of care. A claim for damages or wrongful death claim can be brought for:

• Severe bedsores and bruises from neglect
• Injury or trauma resulting from Alzheimer's or other patients wandering off (elopement)
• Dehydration or malnutrition
• Medication errors
• Injury when the patient is moved or restrained
• Falls because of lack of restraint or support

Nursing Home Abuse

Abuse claims include physical assault or sexual assault of a patient, but also includes emotional and verbal abuse. It can include punishing patients by intentional neglect, excessive restraint, denying visitors, or other malicious treatment. Contact Mitchell Fox

In a good nursing home, staff is well trained in patient care and attends to their needs, and the backgrounds of all employees are carefully checked. The Law Office of Mitchell Fox examines the hiring and training practices of the care facility, previous lawsuits, and complaints filed with Florida authorities about the facility or individual employees. We investigate the living conditions and site of the injury, and may employ medical experts to demonstrate how the nursing home deviated from the accepted standard of care.
