Miami Springs Assisted Living Negligence

Florida’s assisted living facilities are designed to protect and help those who are most vulnerable in our society. They are designed to help the elderly and those who are injured or ill in such a way that they are no longer able to care for themselves. Assisted living facilities are expected to provide dignity, a high standard of care, as well as a good quality of life for residents who may have few other options when it comes to taking care of themselves.

While some assisted living facilities do a great job in providing compassionate care for residents, however, there is growing concern among families at the negligence and abuse that some residents of these facilities have suffered. If your loved one has been injured due to negligence or abuse at an assisted living facility in Miami Springs or anywhere in South Florida, you can always reach the personal injury attorneys at Flaxman Law Group to arrange for a free accident consultation to review your legal options. There may be things you can do to help your family heal from the injury.

Assisted living facilities may claim that any injuries that result to residents are the result of pure accident or due to some other fault. However, how can you be sure whether negligence didn't play a role in the injuries a family member or friend has sustained? In many cases, you will need to work with a personal injury attorney in order to determine the facts.

A personal injury attorney in Miami Springs or Florida will often have a network of private investigators who can determine whether other residents have also been affected by similar injuries and whether negligence has occurred. Attorneys and private investigators can subpoena records of an assisted living facility and other government agencies to find out whether there are other violations against the facility. They can also run background checks on residents and staff at the facility to determine whether individuals who come into contact with your loved one have a history of violence or other criminal behavior. Private investigators can also interview staff, other families, and other residents as well as medical experts and witnesses in order to determine exactly what has caused injuries and accidents.

Pursuing legal claims against assisted living facilities who are negligent in providing a proper standard of care for their resident is an important step in holding these facilities accountable for their actions. Civil claims send a strong message to these facilities that abuse and negligence will not be tolerated. Unfortunately, in some cases, only financial and legal incentives will push owners and administrators to take care of security risks, negligence, and instances of abuse.
