Serious bodily injury

Serious bodily injury is defined as bodily injury which involves substantial risk of death, protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ or mental faculty. Serious bodily injury results from nursing home abuse and negligence when a violation of duty or guidelines has resulted in both physical and mental damages to the victim.

Injuries to residents that could have been prevented are a direct result of nursing home negligence, and any nursing home that does not meet state and federal regulations may also be at fault for negligence.

Other offenses concerning nursing home abuse and negligence include physical, mental, verbal and sexual abuse; kidnapping and false imprisonment; robbery; arson; criminal homicide; indecency; and mistreatment.

If you suspect that a loved one may be suffering from nursing home abuse or neglect, or if they are a victim of serious bodily injury, contact a nursing home abuse attorney at Johnson Law group immediately to begin the complaint and investigation process.
