Danbury, Connecticut Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer
More than 3,000 successful personal injury claims. Over 30 years of experience seeking justice and compensation for injured victims and their families throughout the Danbury area.
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities have the responsibility of providing quality care to elderly people and rehabilitating adults. When elder abuse or neglect causes harm to a resident, the Law Offices of Harvey J. Kulawitz, LLC, strives to hold the nursing home facility and negligent staff accountable for their negligence.
Lack of proper funding contributes to many common problems for nursing homes: understaffing, overcrowding, undertrained staff, and many other issues. These factors can create an environment that is unsafe for the vulnerable adults who are residing in the care of a nursing home. Too often, nursing home residents are subjected to abuse or neglect, such as:
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Bed sores (due to lack of repositioning)
- Broken bones and hip injuries (from falls when not supervised)
- Injuries from wandering off (especially wandering off outside during winter months)
- Overmedication (using chemical restraints) or undermedication
- Other nursing home negligence
It is expected that many people who are residing in a nursing home facility are nearing the end of life and may suffer from severe illness, injuries, or other medical conditions. However, when injuries or death are caused by the direct negligence of nursing home staff or facility procedures, nursing home providers should be held responsible.
