An Affront to Human Dignity
Experienced Trial Lawyers for Victims of Nursing Home Negligence in Ohio
Most people have seen TV newscasts, listened to talk show guests, or read newspaper stories recounting horrific stories of the abuse and neglect that takes place in some of America's nursing homes. Unfortunately, in some ways, and thankfully not in others — nursing home negligence isn't always as obvious as it is in cases that get media attention.
If you feel that something just isn't "right" with the type of care that a family member is receiving at a particular nursing home, you don't have to know "for sure" before making the decision to call and ask someone for help. That's what we're here for.
Contact Alton & Barclay in Columbus, Ohio, for a free consultation with one of our attorneys.
Common signs of abuse or neglect by nursing care providers include:
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Dementia (may be indicative of deliberate overmedication)
- Residents wandering unattended
- Pressures sores on wrists or ankles (overuse of restraints)
- Bed sores/decubitus ulcers
- Unexplained injuries (bruises, broken bones, etc.)
- Missing personal possessions
Our Practice
Most nursing home errors and instances of negligence or abuse are the direct result of understaffing. Put differently: The nursing home industry — an industry which, by the way, makes hundreds of millions of dollars in profit each year — believes that its profit margin is more important overall than your loved one's care and well-being.
But knowing whether or not elder abuse has happened, or is happening to someone you love, is difficult enough. Knowing who to call for help can be more difficult still. The experienced medical malpractice lawyers at Alton & Barclay know how to investigate claims of nursing home negligence and have successfully represented plaintiffs in these types of cases. Our lawyers handle lawsuits involving nursing home abuse and negligence on behalf of families and individuals throughout Ohio.
