Due to an aging population and other medical demands in Tampa,
Orlando, Clearwater, Pasco, Lakeland, and elsewhere in central
Florida, there are numerous nursing homes in the area. If
one of your loved ones is in a central Florida nursing home
and you feel your loved one has been subjected to neglect,
abuse, or substandard care, please contact a nursing home
lawyer from Kennedy Law Group immediately for assistance.
At Kennedy Law Group, we understand that placing a loved
one into a nursing home is very difficult. By allowing a nursing
home to take care of a loved one, we are saying that we trust
the facility with someone who is precious to us. Furthermore,
a loved one living in a nursing home is, by definition, completely
dependent upon his or her caregivers. These facts are what
make nursing home abuse, neglect, and negligence so appalling
and intolerable. You and your loved one deserve a nursing
home lawyer who will fight against these horrific offenses.
Whether your loved one is in a Sarasota nursing home or a
Citrus County assisted living facility, you should always
expect a high standard of care and cleanliness, as well as
ample staffing. When nursing homes are understaffed, hire
unqualified staff, or are over budget, any of the following
situations can occur:
- Physical abuse such as hitting or kicking
- Sexual abuse or assault
- Verbal and emotional abuse
- Medical neglect
- Failure to administer medication
- Over-mediation
- Failure to diagnose an illness or injury
- Premises
liability
- Poor hygiene
- Dehydration, malnutrition, and starvation
- Restraining a patient for no reason
- Failure to prevent or treat bedsores
- Wrongful death
Anytime you suspect nursing home abuse, neglect, or negligence,
you should make a note of the situation and contact a nursing
home lawyer right away. By contacting an attorney quickly,
there's a better chance that the evidence needed to prove
your personal injury case
will be preserved. Your lawyer will also have more time to
investigate the situation, monitor your loved one's care,
and protect your loved one's best interests.
If you suspect nursing home abuse, neglect, or negligence
anywhere in central Florida, be it Pinellas, Hillsborough,
Polk, Manatee, Pasco, Hernando, Citrus, Orange County, or
beyond, please contact
a nursing home lawyer from Kennedy Law Group for a free review
of your situation.
