Ringler Radio’s Larry Cohen and Heather Anderson discuss Beasley Allen’s work on nursing home abuse and neglect cases with the firm’s principal Chris Boutwell.
Chris currently handles cases filed against nursing homes that have seriously injured or caused the death of a patient by abuse or neglect.
Cases can involve instances of falling, choking, bed or pressure sores and elopement, where a resident wanders away from the facility.
Given the decline of quality of care across the industry, Chris gives tips on what to do if a resident has experienced neglect or abuse.
He also cautions residents about arbitration agreements that require them to give up their right to a trial and the possibility of holding bad nursing homes accountable.
