Nursing Home/Elder Abuse

Older adults and their families rely on assisted living facilities to provide high-quality care and when this does not happen, it can have fatal consequences. Enduring the loss of a loved one is hard enough, but when the death stems from abuse or neglect, it’s even worse knowing that your loved one might still be alive if they had received proper care.

Families affected by a nursing home wrongful death may be able to file a lawsuit against the facility and its staff. Whether you want to obtain compensation to pay medical bills and funeral expenses or want to encourage the nursing home to enact change so other residents stay safe, you should seek professional advice. A lawsuit can help families receive financial compensation for medical and funeral costs and hold the facility and its staff accountable for a loved one’s death. Call us today for a free, no obligation, confidential discussion about your case. You will have to pay us a penny until we win your case.

Nursing home abuse is any type of harm — including physical or emotional injuries, sexual assault, or financial exploitation — that comes to elderly residents in long-term care facilities. Nursing Home Abuse Warning Signs include:

  • Bedsores or pressure ulcers.
  • Broken and fractured bones.
  • Bruises, burns, and welts on the skin.
  • Cuts, lacerations, and skin tears.
  • Dehydration and malnutrition.
  • Fatigue, insomnia, or other sleep disorders.
  • Head and dental injuries.
  • Illness or infection.

When an elderly nursing home resident dies due to the negligence of administrators and/or employees, it may be considered a wrongful death.
