What Does a Failure to Provide Medical Treatment Look Like?

There are many different types of nursing home abuse, including the failure to provide medical treatment. When a nursing home resident becomes ill or requires specific medication and is denied that treatment and care, it's a failure on the nursing home's end. Not only is it abusive, but it's also illegal. Nursing homes receive federal grant money to function and are to uphold the law. Medical staff must provide medical care promptly, or transfer the resident to a facility that can treat them.

Failure to provide also pertains to any kind of medical professional- nurses, doctors, surgeons, and more. If you are in dire need of medical attention and not getting the care you have a right to, you have options. Contact our law firm today for help.

Common Ailments Can Turn Into Emergencies

Far too often in nursing homes, a simple ailment can become a severe infection due to negligent nursing home employees who do not seek timely medical treatment. Unfortunately, it can be too late once they finally address the medical issue or get a nursing home resident to the hospital to be treated by a physician.

Many nursing home residents are already physically weakened from previous conditions, and a delay of this nature can place them in a dire situation with little hope of recovery. This is unacceptable. Our team will find out where the liability lies and fight aggressively to make sure your loved one and your family are properly compensated for what has happened.
