Nursing Home Neglect and Elder Abuse

Neglect is as often a problem as abuse. The absence of care can be just as dangerous to elderly individuals as outright physical acts of abuse. Our attorneys are experienced in handling nursing home neglect and abuse cases involving the following:

• Dehydration
• Malnutrition
• Bedsores
• Falls
• Infections
• Errors in medication (dosage, type, etc.)
• Fatal injuries, resulting in wrongful death
• Sex abuse

Often times, evidence of nursing home neglect and abuse are discovered by loved ones. Evidence of physical abuse, such as cuts, scrapes, burns, and bruises, are outwardly noticeable. Signs of neglect include rapid weight loss, infections, and illnesses. Emotional abuse is also a problem in nursing homes and other care facilities. No matter what the symptoms, it is critical that the elderly person is kept safe, and the care facility is held responsible for its actions.

Our Approach

When handling any elder abuse case, our first priority is ensuring the safety of the resident. After that, we work with medical experts in examining the physical evidence of abuse or neglect. Throughout the process, we work closely with family members and loved ones to toward their desired goal.
