In the United States today, abusive and negligent acts are committed against the elderly residents of nursing homes across the nation daily. Due to their frail mental and physical states, senior citizens are frequently victimized by the staff and nursing home facility in which they reside, unbeknownst to their family.

If you believe or have sufficient evidence that your aged loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, they could seek to recover financial compensation for their losses by filing a civil injury claim for damages against the facility and any other parties deemed at-fault for your elderly loved one’s demise. To learn more about the claims filing process for civil actions arising from the malfeasance committed by a nursing home against a resident, get in contact with a qualified Birmingham nursing home abuse lawyer today.

Signs and Symptoms of Elderly Care Home Negligence

While certain types of nursing home abuse can be extremely difficult for the resident’s family members to detect (e.g., financial abuse), there are significant warning signs and symptoms that a senior care home abuse victim may exhibit evidencing their demise. Examples of some of the more common signs of nursing home negligence include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Malnutrition or dehydration
  • Sudden emotional or behavioral changes
  • Poor hygiene
  • Visible markings of physical abuse
  • Immobility or difficulty moving

If a nursing home resident shows any of the previously listed signs or symptoms, it could be a strong indication that they are suffering abuse or neglect at the hands of their nursing home staff or facility. To adequately determine the at-fault parties involved and the extent of damages incurred by a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, those seeking to bring a civil action against a negligent senior care home facility should consult an experienced nursing home abuse attorney in Birmingham.

Injuries Commonly Sustained in Nursing Home Malfeasance Claims

In addition to the commonly recognized warning signs of nursing home abuse and neglect, certain injuries are commonly sustained by abused or neglected elderly nursing home residents. Some of these injuries include the following:

  • Cranial trauma (e.g., concussions and traumatic brain injuries)
  • Skeletal fractures and sprains
  • Viral or bacterial infections
  • Pressure ulcers (i.e., bed sores)

Although it is not a definitive indication of abuse or neglect, anytime a nursing home resident incurs any of the ailments or injuries listed above, or if any of these maladies occur suddenly or in tandem with the previously listed warning signs, it could be a cause for concern. Once an elderly resident’s injuries are determined to result from senior care home abuse or neglect, victims should seek assistance with bringing a civil action against the facility from a dedicated legal advocate.
