Nursing Home Dehydration & Malnourishment
When a nursing home resident sustains an injury or illness and shows sign of dehydration or malnourishment, nursing home negligence may be at fault.
When our loved ones grow old and require care assistance, we trust that the medical professionals and care facilities will take proper care of them. Unfortunately, that trust is often broken. Negligence or reckless actions by workers at nursing homes can result in bedsores, injuries due to falls, dehydration, malnutrition, and many other harmful injuries and conditions among patients. Even after a family member or loved one passes, you may encounter neglect at the funeral home, including the failure to provide paid-for services, mishandling of cremated remains, embalming issues, or even theft and manipulation.
With decades of experience behind them, our team of Nursing & Funeral Home attorneys help our clients navigate through this difficult process and fight for compensation to cover all related expenses and the emotional toll.
