What is medical negligence?

Medical negligence, or malpractice, means that you or a loved one suffered harm from a treatment, lack of treatment, or a treatment not normally accepted for the diagnosed condition. Doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, nursing home aides, psychiatrists, surgeons, dentists, chiropractors, or any medical or health care provider can be guilty of medical negligence.

Medical negligence is too common in nursing homes

Nursing home abuse may be on the rise for many reasons. Overcrowding due to the aging of the baby boom generation, tightened budgets caused by the economic crisis keeping wages low, or slack administration, may all contribute.

Watch out for your elderly loved ones. It is important for loved ones of elderly nursing home residents to keep a sharp eye to ensure proper treatment. Bedsores, confusion from over-medication, unexplained bruises and fractures, excessive fear of staff members, loss of weight and appetite can all be symptoms of nursing home abuse.
