Concord Bed Sore Injury Lawyer

Elder abuse and neglect can take many forms. An elder may become malnourished or dehydrated due to lack of observation and care. They may develop tenacious bruises and bed sores from being allowed to rest in one position too long. Unsafe conditions may contribute to a devastating slip or fall.

Further, caregivers might under- or over-medicate elderly patients due to carelessness or sloppy record keeping. Sometimes, a nurse or aide can lose his/her temper and take it out physically on an elderly patient. Physicians who think they have better things to do might make poor medical decisions that endanger an elder's life or result in wrongful death.

Just as each of our elders is unique, the forms of mistreatment that can befall them are many and varied.
