Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse

Nursing home neglect and abuse cases are expensive because the cost of gathering and reviewing medical records and data is high. Many lawyers will not accept nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect cases for that reason. Located in McKinney, Texas, and representing the families of nursing home abuse and neglect victims throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas areas, personal injury lawyer Maria Wormington, founder of the Wormington & Bollinger law firm, is committed to helping families who trusted their loved ones to a nursing care facility.

Ms. Wormington’s unique background includes working in a hospital as a registered nurse, and in a nursing home facility as a nursing assistant. Ms. Wormington uses her extensive training and background to help victims and their families with nursing home abuse and neglect claims.

Signs and Symptoms of Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing home neglect and abuse claims typically involve serious injury or wrongful death, including:

• Bedsores:
  Bedsores are also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers; our nursing home neglect lawyer handles claims involving bedsore injuries.
• Broken bones:
  Personal injury lawyer Maria Wormington represents victims who suffer broken hips, arms and other bone fractures because of improper restraint or the negligence of nursing care employees.
• Falls:
  Nursing home negligence leading to falls is common, usually occurring from improper restraint, lack of supervision, or slips and falls from substances on the floor.
