Nursing Home Negligence

South Carolina Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys

As our population ages, more and more of our senior citizens are staying in nursing homes.   Unfortunately, not all of our seniors are being given adequate care in these facilities. Substandard nursing home care can result in serious injuries to people that may not have the capacity to report their problems.

It is often up to family members to detect and report nursing home negligence or abuse. Family members should be aware of the need to look for and report instances of nursing home neglect and abuse.  Contact the nursing home negligence lawyers at the Bostic Law Firm, PA if an elderly family member has been injured through nursing home negligence or abuse.

Some common types of nursing home negligence or abuse include the following:

• Bed Sores, Pressure Sores
• Aspiration Pneumonia 
• Urinary Tract Infections
• Sepsis or Blood Infections
• Dehydration
• Overmedication or Wrong Medication
• Falling out of Bed and other Slip and Fall Incidents
• Being Dropped by a Nurse or Orderly
• Assaults or Abusive Behavior

Neglect or inappropriate care can be especially dangerous for people who are already in a frail condition.  Therefore, it is imperative that attorneys handling nursing home cases have experience with federal standards.

 Staying Up-to-Date on Nursing Home Abuse Laws

Attorney Curtis Bostic is not only familiar with statutory requirements, but is also a member of the  Nursing Home Litigation Group, a professional trial-lawyer resource group providing assistance such as finding experts in the field and staying current on trends in nursing home litigation. We are ready, willing, and able to fight elder abuse through bringing personal injury lawsuits or wrongful death claims.

Family members and friends of senior citizens who detect indications that their loved ones are being mistreated, can contact the Bostic Law Firm.  The imposition of civil damages may not only help your senior receive appropriate care and treatment, but could serve to send a message to nursing care providers that they must improve their nursing home services.

There is no fee for an initial consultation and we charge no fee unless we recover damages.
