Miami Springs Inadequate Supervision

Often, residents and patients in assisted living facilities and nursing homes in Miami Springs and other communities are in a condition where they not be left alone for long periods of time. They may have conditions, such as dementia, which leave them vulnerable to pedestrian accidents, slip and fall accidents, and other issues. In some cases, residents may be so weak that they cannot complete even simple tasks such as grooming or bathing without danger. Supervision may also be important in higher-risk occupations and in childcare settings.

It is expected that nursing homes and assisted living facilities as well as other care environments will provide the needed supervision to keep residents and patients safe. When staff fail to do this, they can be held accountable if their negligence leads to harm or injury for patients and residents. If a loved one has been injured due to nursing home abuse or neglect in Miami Springs or South Florida, do not hesitate to contact Flaxman Law Group for a free, no obligation consultation to find out whether you have a claim.

Many Dangers are a Possibility with Negligent Supervision in Miami Springs or Your Community

Providing adequate supervision is vital in situations where children are involved or in long-term care situations. Supervision can also be an important part of higher-risk occupations. Without proper supervision, many types of injuries and accidents can take place, including:

  • Drowning and near-drowning
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Head injuries
  • Medical neglect
  • Neglect and abuse
  • Injuries at assisted living facilities, care homes, and nursing homes
  • Dehydration and malnutrition
  • Workplace injuries
  • Residents of care homes wandering off into traffic or other dangerous situations
  • Burns
  • Head injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Fractures
  • Abuse

Supervision is expected to protect people from all of these dangers. In care homes, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other care environments, supervision is meant to protect residents from harming themselves and from being harmed by others. In child care situations, supervision is meant to provide a higher level of safety for children who may not understand what tasks and situations are a danger. In some riskier occupations, supervision on the job can prevent work injuries and can keep visitors to a workplace safe.

When those who are responsible are negligent in providing well-trained and adequate numbers of supervisors, serious injuries and even fatalities can result. In these situations, it is important to hold accountable parties responsible to ensure that others are not injured through recklessness. Pursuing a legal claim can also help injured parties and their families secure money for hospital bills, care, and other costs related to their injuries.
