HOW TO SPOT NURSING HOME ABUSE

The staff members of long-term care facilities have a duty to provide continuous and appropriate nursing care and attention. Still, elder abuse has sadly become an American epidemic: The true scope of the problem is not fully known because the residents of these facilities may suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive conditions that prevent them from recognizing or effectively communicating instances of abuse.

A common misconception is that mistreatment exclusively occurs in small or underfunded nursing homes. Neglect can occur in any long-term facility, regardless of its size, reputation, or quality of amenities provided. Do not assume that your elderly loved one is safe from abuse just because you have placed them in a well-regarded facility, as a single rogue care provider could still perpetrate harm. You must always be vigilant when visiting your loved one, evaluating their well-being, and watching for red flags. If you are concerned about your loved one but are not sure whether you have a case, our nursing home abuse attorneys are happy to review your situation and discuss your options.

Some of the most common warning signs of nursing home neglect and abuse include:

RECOVERING COMPENSATION FOR NURSING HOME ABUSE

If you or someone you love has suffered abuse or neglect at the hands of a long-term care facility, you may be able to secure compensation for economic and non-economic losses. However, you must file a civil lawsuit against the negligent facility before your state’s statute of limitations expires. This means you must take legal action sooner rather than later, as the precise time limit that applies to your case will depend on where the abuse occurred. You should talk to our team at Potts Law Firm as soon as you begin to suspect abuse or neglect. If you wait too long, you may be unable to recover any damages, even if you have substantial evidence.

Our nursing home abuse lawyers will fight to get your family compensation for all applicable losses, including:

In some cases, we may also be able to secure punitive damages, which are intended to punish especially reckless or malicious defendants. We understand the importance of holding negligent facilities accountable and will do everything we can to secure the just compensation you and your loved one deserve.

We frequently take nursing home abuse cases on a contingency basis, meaning you owe no legal fees unless we win. Contact us online or call (888) 420-1299 today.
