Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys in VA
An increasing elderly population has led to a growing nursing home population, and with this 
has come an increased incidence of nursing home negligence and elder abuse. Whether the abuse consists of recurrent negligence or a single incident which causes injury, victims of nursing home abuse have a right to damages. Victims are generally entitled to receive compensation for things like medical expenses and pain and suffering; in some cases, punitive damages may also be sought. When nursing home abuse results in wrongful death, surviving family members may be entitled to receive money damages for their loss.
Nursing home abuse can include physical damage from falls, malnutrition or dehydration, bed sores, gangrene, aspiration pneumonia, over-sedation, poor medical care, or wrong medication. Just as damaging are lack of supervision, theft, abandonment, effective equipment, sexual assault, coercion, physical or mental abuse. All of these can lead to the injury or death of a nursing home patient.
