Medical and Nursing Home Malpractice
Medical Negligence: A Persistent Risk
The life of a person who suffers from medical negligence is divided into a “before and after.” A medical error leaves a mark, sometimes permanently. It is hard to face the reality that medical negligence can happen to you. Medical negligence and errors have many implications – legal, physical, financial, and emotional. The traumatic impact on victims is why it is so important to fight back and regain a bit of what was lost due to negligent healthcare providers.
Medical negligence encompasses many potential incidents, including: diagnostic errors, surgical infections, medication reactions, inadequate treatment, failure to treat, unnecessary procedures, experimental therapy, and birth injuries. Although proving medical negligence is not easy and requires meeting strict legal standards, it is possible to recover damages through a lawsuit.

Protecting Our Elders
Another heartbreaking reality is the one faced by elderly individuals in nursing homes. Nursing homes are supposed to be a peaceful and safe refuge for them in this stage of life. Negligence in nursing homes is very difficult to recognize and address, due to the fact that the victims are often unable to speak out, or are too afraid to do so. These victims are innocent, vulnerable, and dependent on others. They do not deserve to be victims of negligence.
In nursing homes, there are many types of abuse and neglect that can lead to serious physical and mental injuries. Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse is common, along with neglecting proper care, withholding medication, overmedication, and poor hygiene. Allowing bedsores to develop is another devastating form of abuse and neglect. Any of these situations can cause serious injuries or even death.
