Elder Abuse: Failure to Provide Medications

Most elderly individuals depend on a regimen of medicines to maintain their health and treat other age related illnesses.  To the extent that such elderly persons fail to receive all of the medications they need, significant harm or even death can result. 

While it seems basic that a skilled nursing facility or residential care facility who undertakes the responsibilities of ensuring that their elderly residents will receive all of their physician prescribed medications as ordered and needed, such is not always the case.  Unfortunately, the attorneys at Berman & Riedel, LLP, have seen many cases where facility residents have failed to receive their medications, for prolonged periods of time, and have suffered significant debilitating injuries and even death as a result of such failures.  In such circumstances, liability against those charged with the responsibilities to provide such medications would exist. 

Laws governing the proper administration of medication at nursing homes, residential care facilities for the elderly, and other care facilities exist to ensure that residents of care facilities properly receive their medications.  The attorneys at Berman & Riedel, LLP, have a complete understanding of the laws governing the provision of medications as well as the rights of residents to receive all of the medication they need on time.  This includes an understanding of the laws and regulations involved in litigating claims against the different type of elder care facilities that exist. 

If you or a loved one has experienced injury or the loss of a loved one due to the failure to receive medications as needed, the attorneys at Berman & Riedel, LLP, can offer you with sound advice on what your rights may be under  State and Federal law.  If  you need such advice, feel free to contact an attorney at Berman & Riedel, LLP to discuss your legal options.
