Nursing Home Injuries
Brunkenhoefer Law Firm
Corpus Christi, Texas Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys
Nursing homes are regulated by state and federal law and must adhere to certain protocols in order to retain their licenses. As a result, they must maintain accurate medical records, staff records, financial records, and follow prescribed health and safety procedures in regard to their patients. When a nursing home patient suffers abuse or neglect, the personal injury lawyers at Brunkenhoefer Law Firm act immediately to subpoena records and investigate injuries and abuse. If necessary, we are prepared to work with law enforcement officers, exposing negligence and criminal wrongdoing.
We put negligent nursing homes on notice and hold them accountable before the law. To learn how we can help you, contact our Texas nursing home negligence attorneys at Brunkenhoefer Law Firm. We provide free consultations and represent clients throughout South Texas, including San Antonio, Laredo, Brownsville, Kingsville, Alice, and Victoria.
Recognizing Abuse and Neglect
The following indicators often accompany abuse or neglect of nursing home patients:
- Bed sores
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
- Ligature marks
- Unexplained bruises
- Emotional withdrawal
- Stolen or missing items
- Falls, slips, hall wandering
Recovering a Sense of Dignity and Respect
Our office works with healthcare planners and economic impact analysts in determining the financial cost and medical needs created by abuse and neglect. In cases where gross negligence is involved, we seek punitive damages as well. When nursing homes refuse to cooperate, we’re prepared to go after their license, alerting state officials and agencies. Our Texas nursing abuse attorneys also interview staff and others to uncover what happened and to discover patterns of neglect.
