Nursing Home Abuse

The general neglect of nursing homes is due to lack of staff in the institution, limited training of employees, and lack of accountability in most facilities. Elder neglect manifests in so many forms, which may include emotionally, physically, sexually, and financially. Such neglect also makes unsafe living environments, thus having a more significant negative impact on the quality of life for those vulnerable residents.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Elder Abuse Claims Process

Once we’ve seen your documentation* and investigated your case, we will file the necessary documents in civil court. The defendant will then be notified of the charges. In most cases, the accused person or institution will want to reach a financial settlement, and request that our firm meet with their lawyers. They will do this because it will save them all the bad publicity and expense of going to trial. We will only settle if you agree to settle and agree with the amount and terms of the settlement. If we need to go to trial, we will have expert medical witnesses on hand to testify about how the abuse led to the plaintiff’s injuries. Damages in an elder abuse claim can include medical bills, medications, pain and suffering, compensation for monetary losses, punitive damages, and more.

Statute of Limitations

While a civil claim can’t get the defendant’s licenses and certificates revoked, the surrounding publicity of the civil claim can prompt authorities to take notice and possibly file criminal charges.
