Nursing Home Abuse - Serious Life Threatening InjuriesSerious life threatening injuries often befall elderly residents at US nursing homes.

Statistical analyses of data on senior injuries and mortality rates highlight some key dangers that American 65 and over face. These include:
How do you know when a nursing home or other care provider might be liable for an injury or serious medical complication in a senior? The only way to determine the root cause is to complete a thorough and unbiased investigation. Sometimes, a case may be cut and dry. For instance, let's say a senior fell out of bed after her guard rail broke, and she hurt her hip. Here, the nursing home's negligence (in failing to maintain the guard rail) would be a clear indirect cause of the injury. But even when nursing home incompetence, abuse, or neglect cannot be quite so cleanly implicated, options to press charges may exist. For instance, an elderly resident's pneumonia might have been exacerbated by a nurse's failure to provide medication on schedule.
