California Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer Dr. Bruce Fagel

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities a lucrative business. Whether they are privately owned or publicly traded, their owner's or manager's first priority is often profit. Most services, such as running the facility and providing the meals, are subcontracted to a variety of local and national service providers. Nursing homes often hide behind this complex business structure when legal action is taken against them. It is important to work with a firm that has knowledge of nursing homes' commercial structure, as well as the experience and resources needed to pursue a civil case against nursing homes.

Nursing home neglect includes a number of egregious injuries. If you have even the slightest suspicious that someone you love may be the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, you should immediately contact an experienced nursing home attorney to discuss the patient’s rights and protection.

Physical abuse will sometimes be hidden by clothing or blamed on the use of a medical device.  Any unexplained bruises, cuts, burns, broken bones or sprains must be considered potential signs of abuse and any injury that requires emergency treatment or hospitalization must be treated as suspicious.

Neglect can be physical or mental abuse or the failure to provide clean goods, clothing or living areas. Warning signs of neglect include dehydration, malnourishment, bed sores, poor hygiene, soiled bedding, and living conditions that appear slovenly or unsanitary. Any unexplained weight loss or medical needs that are not being met should be considered a serious sign of neglect.
