Often the most serious victims of nursing home abuse are vulnerable or helpless.They may be unable or fearful and unwilling to complain about it. Family members must be alert and visit often to watch for signs of either abuse or neglect.

Representing nursing home & elder care abuse victims and their families can be a very complex area of legal practice. It demands medical and legal knowledge along with knowledge of the nursing home industry. Experts in the medical field, including doctors and nurses are often required to develop the information and evidence necessary to prove who is legally responsible for the serious injuries and financial damages victims incur.

Oklahoma City Nursing Home Liability and Wrongful Death

When you make the difficult and often heart-wrenching decision to place your loved one in a nursing home, you expect they will be treated well and kept safe. Sadly, a large number of nursing homes fail in this regard, causing untold numbers of nursing home negligence and abuse cases. Self & Associates makes sure nursing homes are held liable in the event your elderly loved one is abused or neglected. In the event of their death due to negligence, we may be able to file a wrongful death suit.

Common forms of nursing home abuse and neglect include:

Unsanitary living conditions
Malnourishment
Failure to provide adequate medical care
Physical and sexual assault
Emotional abuse
Lack of attention

Any of these kinds of abuse and neglect can cause serious and irreparable harm. Bruises, broken bones, and other physical injuries may be ignored or neglected, or even unknown about due to lack of paying attention. Bed sores become infected and the residents become more prone to disease.

With the young and the very ill, the elderly are some of our most fragile members. It might not take much for them to succumb to their illness or injury. When this happens in a nursing home, you have the right to know the events surrounding their death. Most nursing homes are backed by insurance companies and armies of lawyers. They may do what they can to obfuscate the truth.

If you suspect the nursing home staff and doctors may have been liable for your loved one’s death, you need an experienced wrongful death lawyer on your side. Please contact Self & Associates to set up a no-obligation consultation in the Oklahoma City area. We also serve the entire state of Oklahoma.
