Bedsores & Suspicious Injuries

Bedsores and Suspicious Injuries Are Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

Does your elderly loved one's recent fall from a wheelchair in an Ohio nursing home have you worried about the level of care at that facility?

I can investigate the nursing home's policies, practices, staffing and hiring procedures. If strong legal action needs to be taken against the facility, my law office is up to the task.

I am Thomas D. Hunter, founder of the Law Office of Thomas D. Hunter in Columbus. I will hold nursing homes accountable for the mistreatment of their patients. I am well-known throughout the state as an attorney who will handle the tough cases that other attorneys won't.

You can help your nursing home relative to live with dignity and respect. Simply watch carefully during your visits for any sign of abuse and neglect by nursing home — especially bedsores (decubitus ulcers) or suspicious injuries.

Call us in Columbus at 888-818-3410 or e-mail us for a free consultation. We will promptly return your messages and keep meeting schedules flexible for your convenience.

Our Experienced Personal Injury Law Office Holds Nursing Homes Accountable

Please notify my law office if you notice your loved one exhibiting any of these suspicious injuries or suffering other problems with his or her care, such as:

  • Bedsores
  • Malnutrition
  • Dehydration
  • Bruises and abrasions
  • Infections and fevers
  • Medication issues
  • Frequent falls
  • Unsanitary conditions
  • Falls and fractures
  • Unusual bruises

In addition to bedsores, certain changes in behavior may also signal nursing home abuse or neglect. A resident may be found wandering about the facility, or be reluctant to complain about his or her treatment. You should be alert to anything that seems out of the ordinary — in living conditions, attitudes and any physical evidence of abuse.

My Columbus law office will listen carefully to what you have to tell us, then evaluate your potential case, free of charge. Contact us, toll-free, to arrange your free consultation.
