One of the most disturbing aspects of nursing home negligence is that it takes advantage of society's most vulnerable members. Our firm has decades of experience representing the victims of nursing home abuse and neglect. We recognize abuse and neglect is sometimes malevolent. However, more often it is the result of poor hiring, lack of training, poor supervision, and understaffing.
How long will it take to close my case?
That depends upon the complexity of your case. If you are still healing and your future medical needs have yet to be determined, we will not rush to resolve your case. A typical case can be resolved within four to eight months after being accepted by the firm, but that time period fluctuates depending upon the facts of the case. Some cases can last months, even years. We do everything we can to move your case forward in a timely manner.
Our attorneys have significant experience helping families who are dealing with elder abuse matters. One of the common misconceptions is that nursing home abuse only involves physical abuse. Our firm has handled a wide variety of nursing home negligence cases:
- Physical abuse
- Sexual assault
- Mental or psychological abuse
- Failure to respond to changing medical conditions
- Improper medication or medication mismanagement
- Inadequate employee background checks
- Inappropriate use of physical restraints
Many elderly victims fail to report abuse out of humiliation, fear, or shame. However, there are signs that should arouse suspicion, including malnutrition or dehydration, decubitus ulcers or bed sores, wandering away, and sudden changes in behavior. We are dedicated to helping nursing home residents and their families with cases of nursing home negligence to get the respect, response, and results they deserve.
