When Elderly People Are Mistreated
Our Attorneys Will Pursue Fair Compensation for Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Victims
Nursing homes are businesses. They have the right to run their operations accordingly. However, they do not have the right to put their business needs before the needs of the elderly residents they are paid to care for. They do not have the right to let nursing home neglect and abuse take place in their facilities.
With more than 40 years of experience serving the injured in Florida, the lawyers at the Law Offices of Charles R. Scully know how to take on these businesses when they fail to provide the care they are hired to provide. We know how to get fair compensation for victims of elder neglect and abuse.
Standing Up Against All Types of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing home neglect can come in a variety of forms, including:
- Failure to monitor a resident to prevent falls
- Bed sores and ulcers caused by failure to care for bedridden residents
- Malnutrition and dehydration due to improper feeding
- Complications caused by failure to provide medication or medical care when required
While nursing home neglect is frequently the result of understaffing, poorly trained staff or similar issues, our attorneys also handle cases involving direct abuse. We can handle cases involving physical, sexual or emotional abuse of nursing home residents.
Why Investigation is Important
Over the years, our lawyers have come to understand how to handle these cases. We know that, in many cases, the opposition will not simply hand over documentation that implicates them. They are not above falsifying records to make it look like they did the right thing.
Knowing how these businesses act means we know how to conduct our investigation appropriately. We know the steps to take to hold them accountable and get fair compensation for nursing home neglect and abuse victims.
Going to Trial is Always an Option
We approach every case with a fair settlement in mind, but also with an understanding that we may have to go to trial. We build cases with the necessary strength from the very start.
We do this because we know that nursing homes, and the insurance companies that represent them, are not always willing to do what is fair. Sometimes, they need a bit more pressure. We will make it clear to them that we are willing to fight. If they do not provide a compensation that makes sense to you, we will take the matter to court to see that you get it.
