Injuries generally fall into two categories:
In seeking damages, we obtain patient records and care plans, interview staff or witnesses, and examine the training and certification of staff. We research prior reports of abuse or excessive restraint injury, and check into the background of individual staff members for history of violence or terminations by previous employers.
