Nursing home malpractice
Typical cases involve abuse of residents or failure on the part of the nursing home to give proper medical care to residents. Because of the fragile condition of the resident nursing home malpractice cases often involve serious injury or wrongful death. While there are many quality nursing home facilities across the country, there are also those who have begun to put profits before patients. Signs of neglect and abuse may include:

• Death or serious injury to a wandering resident, especially if the resident suffers from Alzheimer’s or dementia
• Pressure or bed sores requiring hospitalization
• Dehydration or malnutrition
• Failure to assist in personal hygiene
• Frequent medical attention or broken bones due to falls
• Unusually heavy or continuous sedation of the patient.

The nursing home industry is heavily regulated by state and federal governments and laws protect patients from harmful treatment. Bordas & Bordas offers effective legal representation to patients and families who have suffered the terrible consequences of nursing home malpractice.

Bordas & Bordas also attempts to allow its clients to convey their feelings and emotions regarding nursing home malpractice through the use of state-of-the-art technology by creating settlement videos for use in the case.
