Coral Springs Medical Neglect

Care homes, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other care facilities are responsible for making sure that patients get needed medical treatment and medications. Unfortunately, while some staff and some facilities are very adept at providing residents and patients with the care they need, others are reckless and negligent. In these cases, it is often the residents and families who suffer.

Do you suspect that a loved one has been affected by medical neglect or elder abuse in Coral Springs or in your community? The attorneys at Flaxman Law Group have been helping families like yours for decades and would be pleased to meet with you in a free, no obligation case review to review your options and your situation so that you can make the best decisions to protect your family and your loved one.

Medical neglect can be deadly. When patients do not get appropriate levels of care and attention, they can face serious injury and even fatalities. Some common issues that stem from medical neglect include:

• Diabetic patients slipping into a coma or even passing away because they are not given insulin
• Patients with dental issues or wounds developing infections, gangrene, or sepsis because they are not given medical care
• Children and mothers suffering life-threatening complications in the delivery room because of a delay in treatment or medical attention
• Patients reacting badly to medication or having serious side effects because medication is not administered correctly
• Patients suffering from stroke, heart attack, and other serious issues because of under-medication or lack of follow-up care
• Patients with chronic conditions passing away because their treatable conditions are not managed correctly

Any time that patients or residents in care environments do not get adequate access to medical assistance or medical care, their health and even their lives may be at risk. Unfortunately, due to budget cutbacks, poor policies, understaffing, and recklessness these kinds of situations occur all over Florida each year, sometimes with tragic consequences. If you suspect that you or a loved one have been injured due to medical neglect, it is important to act fast and to seek maximum compensation so that you can pay for quality medical services so that you can heal as fully as possible.

It can be frustrating and upsetting to see someone you love suffering serious health complications due to medical neglect. It can be even more frustrating to realize that this type of neglect is entirely preventable. If your family has been affected by medical neglect, you will want to contact a personal injury attorney in Coral Springs or your community to find out whether you qualify for legal redress. Seeking a legal claim can help you and your family pursue compensation to pay for medical care and it can help hold liable parties accountable for their recklessness.
