Nursing home abuse throughout the country is an increasing problem. On a daily basis, elderly individuals throughout the nation are victimized. If your family members are victims of abuse or neglect in a nursing home, then more likely there are other elderly individuals in the facility who are also being abused or neglected; as a matter of fact, there is most likely a continuing pattern of neglect at the nursing home.

Examples of nursing home abuse and negligence include, but are not limited to the following:

In each nursing home abuse lawsuit we handle, our medical malpractice lawyers carefully examine the facility's history of violations of both state and federal regulations to see if there is a pattern of abuse and/or neglect. We also concentrate on staffing and training deficiencies, which are usually the root cause of nursing home cases. To find out more about how we can help you or a loved one, contact us today.

Red flags signifying nursing home abuse are usually subtle. Often, elderly patients who are being mistreated fail to report it.
