No one should have to live out their golden years in fear and pain, but unfortunately each year thousands of senior citizens are abused, neglected and exploited in nursing homes and other elder care facilities. Many victims are frail, vulnerable and cannot help themselves. They are dependent on others to meet nearly all of their most basic needs.

The issue is so widespread that legislatures in all 50 states have passed some form of elder abuse prevention laws.

Knowing the warning signs of abuse is a first step toward protecting elderly friends or relatives. Sometimes residents of care facilities may sustain physical injuries from abuse, such as bruising. In other instances, neglect can cause dehydration and malnutrition or infections from untreated bedsores. If you believe someone is being neglected in a care facility, then there is a chance other fellow residents are also under threat from neglect.

Our firm represents individuals who have suffered through nursing home abuse and their loved ones. We understand that the injuries suffered, as a result of an abusive nursing home can be severe and life altering for both the victim and their family.

Our experienced attorneys will discuss your situation and go over the options available to you, as well as work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure your needs are handled properly.

We will determine if a nursing home is responsible for you or your loved ones injuries. These can include compensatory and/or punitive damages. Compensatory damages attempt to put an injured person back in the position he or she was in before being injured, and can include lost wages, past and future medical expenses, and pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages are also awarded. Punitive damages are given to the injured person in order to penalize wrongdoers and discourage others from repeating the offense.
