Common Forms of Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse comes in many forms. In some cases the abuse is carried out to a criminal extent such as:

  • Physical Assault
  • Starvation

In such an event the responsible parties may face criminal charges in addition to civil action being taken against them. In most instances the abuse is some form of negligence such as:

  • Neglect
  • Failure to provide medication
  • Failure to examine patient for detrimental conditions such as bedsores
  • Failure to assist patient to restroom
  • Ignoring the valid requests for assistance from the patient

The elderly and mentally impaired are often at the mercy of the medical staff who is supposed to look after them. Far too often the medical staff fails to provide the proper level of care and the patient suffers as a result.


What Makes Nursing Home Abuse Cases so Complicated?

The primary challenge in a nursing home abuse case comes from the fact that the elderly are often unable to tell their side of the story in an abuse case and the testimony of the accused abusers can only be challenged by physical evidence. Additionally, nursing home abuse cases are a form of medical malpractice and in the State of Texas medical malpractice cases are highly influenced by tort reform measures. Several years ago Texas law makers set into effect certain measures that insulate medical professionals from lawsuits. While attempting to eliminate frivolous law suits, tort reform has created a scenario where legitimate cases against medical professionals are harder to win. Tort reform has created a scenario where our personal injury attorneys are held to a higher standard of proof in order to show the liability of the accused medical professional.

As a result many attorneys have simply stopped taking nursing home abuse cases. The nursing home abuse attorneys at the Dallas Grossman Law Offices is not afraid of a challenge and we still believe that those who have hurt the elderly and mentally impaired should be held accountable for their actions.
