Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

State and federal laws protect the elderly from health hazards and deficiencies in patient care. The reason for state and federal protection of the elderly is a sad and simple truth: all too often nursing homes, long-term care and assisted living facilities in Texas have placed profits before patients, and the quality of care that elderly nursing home residents receive. The personal injury lawyers at Hall & Bates believe that it is reasonable to expect that our loved ones will be properly cared for in their golden years, and we handle nursing home abuse and neglect cases involving:

• Bed sores and infections
• Dehydration and malnutrition
• Elder financial exploitation
• Falls and fractures
• Inadequate staffing, training, and supervision claims
• Medication and prescription errors
• Mental cruelty and psychological damage
• Physical or chemical restraints
• Physical abuse and neglect
