When a person doesn’t get enough to eat, and therefore lacks important vitamins and nutrients, this is known as malnutrition. If a person doesn’t get enough fluid intake, this is known as dehydration. In a nursing home setting, where aides and other staff are responsible for ensuring that residents receive proper nutrition and hydration, a failure to provide for their residents would be considered negligent at best and abusive at worst. If you believe a loved one is suffering from malnutrition or dehydration, speak to a personal injury lawyer with experience representing patients who have been injured in nursing home settings. In Forest Hills, Queens, and throughout the New York City area, call Cohen & Cohen Personal Injury Lawyers, P.C., at (718) 971-2107 or get in touch by using our online form.

THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION AND MALNUTRITION

Malnutrition and dehydration can cause residents to become underweight, and can lead to additional related health problems, including tooth decay, bone fractures, low blood pressure and anemia. In severe cases, malnutrition and dehydration could even lead to death within the very institutions where attentive medical care is supposed to be provided.

Nursing home residents may be particularly at risk for dehydration and malnutrition to begin with for various reasons, including the use of certain medications, and cognitive problems like depression that can already predispose people to weight loss. Additional factors like poor dental health or a lack of food choices can also contribute to residents not getting enough food or drink. For these reasons, it is particularly important that nursing home staff carefully monitor and provide for adequate intake of food and fluids. When they fail to do so, whether because of inadequate staffing, high turnover or other reasons, they put residents at risk. This neglect, or even abuse, can contribute to severe harm for which compensation may be available.

YOUR LOVED ONES DESERVE BETTER

If you suspect that a loved one in a nursing home may be suffering from abuse or neglect in the Queens area, call our office at (718) 971-2107 or send us an email to start a discussion with an attorney about the possibility of starting an investigation.

Jessica and the team at Cohen & Cohen have been absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they've provided exceptional support, keeping me updated and informed every step of the way. Their communication is top-notch, and I always feel like my concerns are a priority. Jessica's and Denise’s professionalism and dedication make the process so much easier.

Sierra Rivas
Cohen and Cohen and the entire staff were very professional. It was a seamless journey. My case was with a previous law firm and I was not happy with the way they conducted business. I eventually transferred my case to Cohen Law firm with the referral of my wife. So glad I made the switch, I am very pleased. Thank you to Mr.Cohen and the entire law group. Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Moreover, the handling of the legal proceedings was remarkably smooth. Cohen & Cohen's expertise in personal injury law was evident in their strategic approach and attention to detail. They navigated the complexities of my case efficiently, ensuring that all aspects were addressed comprehensively.

First and foremost Albert was able to get me what I needed within a shorter time frame than projected. The team at Cohen & Cohen were professional, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the legal process. There were no promises made, based on the facts only guarantees. I have referred Albert to colleagues and friends alike. If you're looking for top notch representation look no further.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
CAR ACCIDENT QUESTIONS

The insurance company wants to talk to you. Should you?

You should speak with a car crash attorney first. Insurance company representatives are there to protect the insurance company’s bottom line by paying out as little as possible if anything. They are not there to help you, even if they sound friendly.

 

What is the value of your case? The insurance company says it wants to pay you less than you thought they would.

This is also where an attorney can help. An experienced attorney can help you see how your case should be valued as opposed to the insurance company using their initial number as a place to begin bargaining. An attorney can handle that back-and-forth on your behalf.

 

When should I see a doctor?

If you have not already seen a doctor, you need to do so. Car accident injuries can often be hidden from plain sight. Your attorney should be able to assist you in locating a reliable medical professional.

How long will a car accident case take?

The real answer depends on a variety of factors that can be taken into account by your attorney. That answer will depend on the complexity of the injuries, the complexity of any insurance provisions, and if the insurance company counsel is reasonable, just to name a few factors.

 

What about going to court? Is that always necessary?

No, it is not always necessary. Many times, negotiating for a settlement will prove sufficient. There are times, however, when a trial will best protect your rights. You should be able to rely on your attorney to develop a relationship with you so they can help you understand the legal options that best meet your needs and goals.
