Fort Walton Beach Attorneys Representing Victims Of Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect
With its large population of elderly citizens, Florida is a state where elder abuse and neglect is, unfortunately, fairly common. Understaffing, overcrowding, lack of training, inadequate wages and other factors lead to heartbreaking instances of nursing home abuse. Nursing homes are sometimes implicated in two types of abuse cases: outright misconduct and neglect. To schedule a consultation with an experienced Florida nursing home lawyer about possible nursing home abuse, contact our team at Wesley, McGrail & Wesley PLLC.
Florida Nursing Home Bill Of Rights Violations
Nursing home care is governed by statute in Florida. The Nursing Home Bill of Rights spells out clear, reasonable expectations for long-term care facilities throughout the state. Failing to properly care for residents of nursing homes often leads to bedsores, falls and other easily preventable injuries. A nursing home malpractice lawyer can often uncover the cause of a nursing home neglect injury and help victims obtain just compensation.
