Ohio Attorneys With Experience Handling Nursing Home Negligence Cases
Studies performed for the federal government have shown that 30% of nursing homes have been cited for instances of abuse of residents. And it is feared that most instances of abuse and neglect go unreported. With more than 45 combined years of legal experience, including nursing home injury and neglect cases, our Akron nursing home negligence lawyers will fight for injured patients in nursing home negligence cases
Many nursing homes make deliberate business choices that increase profitability but cause devastating problems for their vulnerable residents and patients, including:
- Understaffing: When there are not enough front-line health care providers on staff to adequately care for the number of patients in a given facility, incidents of neglect are certain to surface.
- Inadequate presence of medical professionals: Physicians who "staff" the facility may not be on the premises enough; or there are an inadequate number of physicians to properly monitor the number of residents and their health problems
- Inadequate training and screening of staff: Improperly screened or trained support staff are more likely to make mistakes regarding cleaning, scheduling and patient care that lead to injuries or other complications. Improper screening also leads to the more serious issues of abuse of nursing home residents.
