We Fight the Nursing Home's Insurance Carrier for You

Nursing home residents may be subjected to physical, mental or emotional abuse by staff. We will investigate the abuse to determine how it was allowed to occur. Our investigation may include examining medical records, reviewing duty rosters and speaking with the staff. When a facility attempts to falsify records to hide their negligence, we will work to uncover it.

Some common types of nursing home abuse include:

• Withholding food or water
• Inadequate daily care, hygiene and grooming
• Unsanitary bathroom facilities
• Improper use of restraints
• Sexual assault
• Financial exploitation
• Threats of violence
• Verbal abuse

The result of physical abuse may be bedsores, unexplained bruises or cuts, broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration or wrongful death. Victims of physical, mental or emotional abuse may appear anxious, depressed, withdrawn, or unusually frightened or confused. If you suspect abuse, report the incident and contact us as soon as possible.
