Nursing Home Malpractice Lawyer North Carolina
Nursing Home Negligence Attorney
The nursing home malpractice lawyers at Warren & Kallianos have extensive experience fighting for the rights and dignity of nursing home residents. Throughout North and South Carolina, patients and their families have learned that they can count on the determined representation of the Warren & Kallianos law firm in nursing home neglect cases.
The Carolinas are a popular retirement location. Many elderly residents spend the end of their lives in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Such facilities are highly regulated, but the state doesn’t have the resources to monitor homes for infractions. It is often up to relatives and friends to report signs of negligence. Our Warren & Kallianos nursing home law firm has handled a full range of nursing home malpractice cases.
- Falls: Improper transfers (from bed to chair, for example), poor training, or negligent supervision can cause elderly and infirm people to fall. Those falls are almost always catastrophic.
- Medication errors: Because of negligence, patients don’t get their medications, are over-medicated, or are given medications that are contraindicated for their conditions. Poor record keeping, inadequate staff supervision, and negligent medical attention are among the causes.
- Starvation and dehydration: When patients are not properly fed, starvation causes weight loss and death. When they are not given enough fluids, they can dehydrate and suffer fatal renal failure. If you see signs of elder abuse, get help as quickly as possible.
- Bed sores: When bedridden people are not given proper care, bed sores can rapidly develop from stage 1 to stage 4 and become septic. Frail patients are subjected to unnecessary pain and life-threatening infections.
If you are concerned about how a relative is being treated in a nursing home or assisted living facility, contact the nursing home attorneys at Warren & Kallianos.
