Making the Perpetrators of Elder Neglect Pay
When an elder loved one suffers neglect resulting in dehydration or malnutrition, it can be hard to distinguish from a natural decline. It can be tempting to accept the nursing home's explanation.
If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, it is important to listen to your intuition. It is equally important to get the facts. An independent medical assessment or an autopsy may be necessary to obtain proof that malnutrition or dehydration caused by elder neglect is to blame for your loved one's decline or unexplained death.
The team at Slater & Zurz LLP includes an experienced physician who can conduct a thorough review of your case. Our firm also works with a network of doctors who are committed to fighting nursing home neglect and abuse of all kinds. If you suspect your elderly loved one was a victim of negligence by an Ohio nursing home, you need legal help and honest answers. Contact us today for a free initial consultation.
