Unexplained Injuries in South Florida Elder Care Facilities
Nursing homes and other long-term care facilities are entrusted with the care of people who can no longer care for themselves at home and need a safe place to live and receive necessary medical treatment. Unexplained injuries to nursing home residents may be signs of larger problems, such as neglect and abuse by staff members. It is important to look for signs of poor treatment when injuries and wrongful death occur.
In Miami, the personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at Ferrer Shane provide experienced representation for victims of elder abuse in South Florida. We thoroughly investigate cases of alleged neglect or abuse to look for telltale signs of substandard care. We also know the actions nursing homes often take to cover up abuse and will file claims to hold those facilities accountable when they are at fault.
If you believe that a loved one has been harmed because of abuse or negligence in an assisted living facility or nursing home, contact Ferrer Shane at 888-609-5947.
