Unattended Health Issues
Experienced Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Serving North Carolina
When illnesses, diseases, or medical conditions are not properly diagnosed or treated, it can result in serious injury and even death to the resident. In cases involving failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis, a resident may develop advanced stages of the disease or illness, which can ultimately decrease his or her chances of making a full recovery. In addition, when a nursing home fails to treat a preexisting condition, serious health complications are likely to ensue.
