JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we take your nursing home case personally!

One of the most emotional events we face is caring for elderly parents, relatives and friends. It becomes even more difficult when your loved one is the victim of physical or emotional abuse or neglect while confined to a nursing home or other care facility. Claims for nursing home neglect or abuse can occur in many ways, including:

• Failing to provide a safe environment
• Failure to provide proper nutrition
• Failure to administer the proper medication
• Failing to administer the proper dosage of medication
• Failing to prevent bedsores & pressure sores
• Failing to provide proper medical care
• Failing to provide adequate and appropriate medical care
• Failing to supervise staff properly
• Failing to monitor patients at timely and appropriate intervals
• Failing to secure patients in bed or chairs, or when involved in other activities
• Failing to hire sufficient personnel to care for all of the facility’s patients
• Failing to provide adequate assist, such as walkers and wheelchairs, to prevent accidents
• Failing to restrain patients who may become violent
• Inadequately supervising employees
• Failing to conduct an adequate background check on employees

At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we regularly handle these types of cases, and recognize that physical or emotional neglect and abuse are often silent crimes. In fact, many elderly patients will not complain about abuse or neglect because they fear that their care will get worse and/or that they will be “punished” for complaining.

Victims of nursing home abuse suffer from a wide range of ailments, including:

• Bruises, cuts, sprains, scrapes or fractures
• Bedsores
• “Frozen” joints
• Unexplained bleeding
• Torn, stained or bloody underwear
• Sudden behavioral changes
• Sores
• Bedsores
• Malnutrition
• Dehydration
• Numerous other physical and emotional injuries

Some of the more common injuries are the result of neglectful care, although many others arise from falls and attacks. Victims of nursing home abuse are entitled to compensation for their pain and suffering, payment of medical expenses and other damages.

At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we regularly represent victims of nursing home and long term facility abuse. We understand how to prove that our clients’ injuries are serious, and know how to prove that our clients are entitled to compensation for their pain and suffering.
