Common Signs of Nursing Home Neglect Families often trust facilities to care for their vulnerable loved ones, only to find that profit was prioritized over safety. At Dayton Trial Law, we handle cases involving:

• Bedsores (Pressure Ulcers): These are almost always preventable with proper turning and hydration. Stage 3 and 4 ulcers are clear signs of neglect.

• Falls and Fractures: Facilities must assess fall risks. Unexplained bruises or hip fractures often indicate a lack of supervision.

• Malnutrition & Dehydration: Rapid weight loss or cracked lips can signal that staff are not ensuring residents eat and drink enough.

• Elopement: When a resident with dementia wanders off the premises, the facility has failed its primary duty of security.

Why You Need a Trial Lawyer Nursing home chains are often owned by massive corporations with deep pockets. They will delay claims and hide records to avoid paying out.

We do not just file claims; we investigate staffing logs, medical records, and state inspection reports. We prepare to show a jury exactly how the facility failed your family.

What to Do If You Suspect Abuse

1. Seek Medical Attention: Get your loved one to a hospital immediately if they are in danger.

2. Document Everything: Take photos of injuries, the room conditions, and keep a log of conversations with staff.

3. Contact Us: Do not sign any settlement offers from the facility until you have spoken to a lawyer.
