Harrisonburg Nursing Home Wrongful Death Lawyers

elder abuse attorneys serving all of Virginia

According to information gathered by the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association (JAMDA), approximately 20% of all deaths in the United States occur in a nursing home. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suspects 20% of those nursing home deaths happen in a fall-related incident. The statistics raise the question about just how safe nursing homes and assisted living centers really are.

What are Some Causes of Nursing Home Deaths?

Of course, some deaths in nursing homes will be inevitable due to the natural process of aging. Yet there are many life-threatening complications that an elder can suffer if they are abused or neglected while staying in a nursing home. When a preventable death occurs, the nursing home must be held accountable through all available channels in order to seek justice, prevent future harm, and seek fair compensation for surviving family members.

Causes of deaths in nursing homes related to neglect or abuse include:

  • Illness caused by malnutrition
  • Illness caused by dehydration
  • Complications related to medication errors
  • Complications arising from a failure to recognize a change of condition
  • Inattention to needs of residents arising from inadequate staffing
  • Physical abuse from an orderly or other resident
  • Injuries suffered in a preventable slip and fall accident
  • Isolation causing depression and physical maladies
