Nursing home abuse is a very disturbing form of negligence.
It is a difficult decision to admit your family member into
an elder care facility, assisted living facility and nursing
home in the first place. If you then learn that your family
member is being physical abused it can be very disturbing
indeed.
Signs of physical nursing home abuse are: bruises,
burns (cigarettes, caustics and acids) cuts, open wounds and
welts. Actual physical abuse may occur from kicking,
punching and the unnecessary strapping down of patients. If
the nursing home facility can not give adequate explanation
of the origin of these signs of physical nursing home abuse,
you need to discuss the legal ramifications with an experienced
Oklahoma nursing home abuse attorney.
The Oklahoma personal injury law firm of Atkins &
Markoff dedicates their practice to helping the victims of
gross negligence. Please contact
