Was Your Loved One Abused or Neglected?
Thousands of nursing home patients suffer serious injury or lapse
into grave illness from the actions or negligence of their caregivers.
If you suspect your elderly parent suffered from elder abuse or
substandard care, Haber & Associates can investigate a claim for
damages.
Chris Haber & Matt Lalande have successfully sued care facilities in Ontario for nursing home abuse, neglect and medical negligence and wrongful death. Some areas of nursing home negligence would include:
- Falling injuries
- bed sores
- Failure to diagnose and treat illness
- Medication errors
- Malnourishment or dehydration
- Excessive restraint or overmedication
- Broken equipment (bed rails, wheelchairs, walkers)
- Punishment or emotional abuse
- Physical abuse or sexual assault
- Injuries from elopement (wandering off)
Why Does This Happen?
Nursing home abuse and neglect usually traces to negligent hiring and
staffing. Was the facility understaffed? Did the nursing home
administrators check the criminal background and certifications of
employees? How often are patients seen by a physician? Was the patient
assessed for health risks and did workers adhere to special care
requirements? What security measures protect nursing home residents from
abuse (or self-harm)?
Chris Haber & Matt Lalande have experience
in negligence litigation that enables them to
ask the right questions and compare the nursing home's practices against
industry standards and Provincial regulations. They consult with doctors,
nurses and other experts who can review the records and testify how
patient injuries were allowed to occur.
