What are common examples of nursing home abuse in South Carolina?

Abuse comes in many forms. Sometimes the abuse is intentional (like an assault or financial crimes) while most of the time it is the result of someone’s negligence such as their failure to act, recognize, or fix a particular situation. Some examples of negligent actions include:

Development of Stage III or Stage IV pressure ulcer, known as bed sores
Falls from beds, showers, or in common areas/hallways.
Infections caused or worsened by deficient nutrition or sanitation
Failure to recognize or treat infection
Patient is improperly medicated
Patient treatment is delayed

Labored briefing

At Keibler Law Group, we take nursing home abuse and neglect cases serious – we investigate through witness interviews, seek camera and documentation evidence, and research prior evidence of complaints, violations, warning letters, and signs of repetitive administrative problems.

Often times, the incidents are not isolated and the issue is more foundational in the system – not just “one bad apple.” We work to help fight injustice for your loved one and to prevent any future victims.

What is a Contingency Fee?

How do I pay for the lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis meaning the victims we represent pay nothing at all unless we win. Once you receive money from either a settlement or verdict, we receive a certain percentage of that settlement or verdict. If your lawsuit is unsuccessful, you will not owe us any attorney fees. This allows the plaintiff to reap the rewards without risk of having to pay for a loss.
