Arizona Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys: Infections
When a nursing home resident is injured due to untreated infections, we get right to the point. Failure to diagnose and treat infections in people under nursing home care can be nursing home neglect. And we won’t stand for it. At The Garcia Law Firm, in Phoenix, our team of trial attorneys is dedicated to holding nursing homes accountable for the harm they cause patients due to untreated infections.
The Consequences of Untreated Infection
Meningitis, streptococcal infections, staph infections and other bacterial infections can have especially serious consequences on an elderly person’s health. Injuries due to untreated infections can be so severe that they lead to permanent damage and wrongful death:
- Infected bed sores
- Urinary tract infection (bladder infection)
- Sepsis / septic shock
- Wrongful death
Infections and their consequences can occur in nursing homes because of dirty conditions. Injuries happen and the wounds and bedsores are not cleaned properly. Bandages are not changed. Residents are left in soiled adult diapers for too long. These people are often more vulnerable to infection or to other nursing home neglect — they may also be experiencing malnutrition and dehydration, which makes them more susceptible.
