A Revealing Nursing Home Negligence Case
In a recent case, a severely retarded child received inadequate supervision in a nursing home for children, resulting in his asphyxiation and death.
Dr. Obert-Hong reviewed the autopsy report and immediately identified medical information indicating negligence. He worked with the chief medical examiner of a nearby city and eventually proved negligence. The result? A sizeable settlement for, the child's family and a state citation, fine and license suspension against the nursing home.
An Investigation Can Uncover the Facts and Lead to Compensation and Accountability.
Do not assume that bed sores, skin ulcers, pressure sores and other injuries are routine and acceptable when caring for nursing home residents. Often, a failure to supervise, provide basic care, follow doctors' instructions and correctly administer medication is the underlying cause to serious nursing home injuries and wrongful death.
