South Carolina Nursing Home Unexpected Death Lawyers Sue for Wrongful Death
Families of nursing home unexpected death victims deserve full compensation
People who place their loved one in a nursing home expect their relative or friend will enjoy their remaining years and die of natural causes. They never expect that the nursing home will fail to properly care for the residents. Sadly, deaths in nursing homes due to abuse and neglect occur all too often. Many residents die because preventive measures are not taken or because patients with injuries do not get proper medical treatment. Many deaths occur because older patients cannot recover from their injuries like younger victims can.
