Indianapolis Nursing Home Neglect Attorney

In an effort to cut overhead and increase profits, nursing homes are often short-staffed. As a result, there can be too few workers to adequately monitor residents, creating a potentially dangerous situation.

Failure to monitor residents and inadequate training are forms of nursing home neglect that can lead to a wide range of injuries:

  • Bed sores (decubitus ulcers)
  • Restraint injuries
  • Injuries sustained from wandering off (elopement)
  • Malnutrition
  • Dehydration
  • Infections
  • Medication errors

Pursuing a nursing home neglect lawsuit can not only protect your loved one, but can spare others from these harmful practices in the future. Our nationally board certified civil trial attorneys can help you and your family seek fair compensation for the losses suffered and hold the negligent party to account.
