Arizona Elder Law Attorneys: Bowel & Bladder Injury
When elderly and vulnerable adults are the victims of nursing home neglect, they can develop painful – and often fatal – injuries to bowels and bladder. These injuries can be emotionally devastating for victims and their families. The skilled healthcare providers they depended on for care betrayed their trust and caused serious harm.
At The Garcia Law Firm, with offices in Phoenix, we hold them accountable. Our team of experienced trial lawyers says exactly what we mean. We fight aggressively and ethically, pursuing our cases relentlessly until we get the best possible results. This approach has helped us earn the position as the leading elder law firm in the Western United States.
Why Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Leads to Bowel and Bladder Injury
Elderly adults in nursing homes depend completely on trained staff for their care. While the care at some Arizona nursing homes is good, others underpay and overwork their staff just to make money. The result is that the elderly and vulnerable adults at these nursing homes are neglected – they are malnourished and dehydrated, left in their own feces for days at a time, or left strapped in beds without access to a bathroom for urination and defecation.
Serious consequences develop. Bowel and bladder injuries include a range of severe, painful and often fatal ailments:
- Urinary tract infections (UTI)
- Fecal impaction
- Bowel obstruction
- Abdominal and colon abscesses
- Toxic infections
- Sepsis / septic shock
- Kidney failure
- Death
