Wheaton

As an affluent community located in both Winfield and Milton Townships, the city of Wheaton serves as the county seat in the community for DuPage County. With its close proximity to downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan (approximately 25 miles away), Wheaton has a landmass of nearly 12 square miles and a dense population of more than 53,000 residents.

Many of the residents in the community enjoy the amenities that include the Northside Family Aquatic Center, water park, Rice Pool, Cosley Zoo, Chicago Golf Club, Forest Preserve, Illinois Prairie Path and the DuPage County Fairgrounds.

However, the heavily populated area has equated to a higher number of injury cases. Many of these injuries include:

• Medical malpractice
• Vehicle accident
• Slip and fall incident
• Drowning
• Premises liability
• Defective products
• Construction accidents
• Childbirth injury
• Nursing home abuse and/or neglect

The skilled attorney works with the family to ensure that the love is fully compensated for the suffering, pain, injuries and damage received in the nursing home.

Through long-term medical care litigation, the attorney can stop the abuse immediately.

The laws in Illinois involving elderly abuse are complex. However, by hiring a reputable Wheaton personal injury lawyer, with years of experience, the skilled attorney can find obvious and inconspicuous signs of neglect, mistreatment and/or abuse. Many of the signs of neglect or abuse in a nursing home include:

• Bedsores
• Broken bones
• Malnourishment
• Dehydration
• Unsanitary environment
• Soiled bedding
• Bruises
• Heavy sedation
• Wrong prescription medication
• Fear
• Poor hygiene
• Head injuries
• Any medical condition or illness not immediately reported to the family

An experienced personal injury attorney understands that elderly residents often hide any sign of neglect or abuse from loved ones. This is often based on the fear that the medical staff may retaliate once the abuse is brought to light. In many incidences, mistreatment and abuse can go on for many weeks and even months at a time. Fortunately, the swift action of a skilled attorney can stop any neglect or suspicion of mistreatment immediately.

The actions of an experienced personal injury attorney that handles nursing home abuse involve more than just writing a letter to the facility. Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC will investigate the nursing home policies and procedures to ensure that the facility operates on at least the minimum requirements and conditions set by Illinois law. In many incidences, the attorneys are able to determine that the nursing home has an understaffed workforce, or one that is overworked or not properly trained.

Many times, nursing homes create unacceptable working conditions that lead to frustrated staff members. As a result, the nursing home resident becomes the victim of abuse or neglect through shortcuts or errors. Neglect may include not properly feeding the resident, checking them routinely, or correctly positioning the resident in the bed to minimize bedsores and the potential of bacterial infection.

By hiring the skills of a competent nursing home abuse lawyer, the family can be assured that the neglectful actions of the facility staff stop immediately. In addition, the attorney can seek financial recompense from the facility while holding every responsible party accountable.
