A stay at the hospital should bring help and healing. However, if hospital workers neglect to provide the expected care a patient deserves, you may have a case of hospital neglect. If so, then turn to the Ebbert Law Firm’s hospital negligence lawyers in Knoxville, TN.

What Are Common Signs of Hospital Neglect?

During or after a stay at the hospital, you might notice specific signs of hospital neglect. These signs include:

• Bedsores: A common problem when a patient cannot adjust or is not repositioned enough, bedsores are ulcers that are red and painful at first but then turn purple and eventually break open, which can lead to infection.
• Weight loss: Due to malnutrition, a patient can lose weight at the hospital. If this weight loss is sudden or unexplained, this is often a symptom of hospital neglect.
• Unclean conditions: If the hospital bed, room, or patient has dirt, bugs, soiled bedding, or bad odors, these can be signs of hospital neglect.

If any of these signs manifest themselves while you or a loved one is at the hospital or shortly thereafter, speak to us today.
