What Constitutes Abuse?
Nursing home abuse can take various forms, including physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as neglect. Some of the signs and symptoms that may indicate abuse include: unexplained injuries, sudden changes in behavior, social withdrawal, and poor personal hygiene. If you suspect abuse, call us today.
At Hines Law Firm, we understand that the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is never easy. It requires a significant amount of trust and confidence in the facility's ability to provide proper care and support. However, when that trust is violated, and vulnerable elders suffer from abuse or neglect, it's crucial to take immediate action.
What Can You Do?
The safety and well-being of your loved one should always be the top priority. If you suspect abuse, take immediate steps to ensure their safety. This may include removing them from the facility, documenting any injuries or suspicious incidents, and seeking medical attention. Additionally, make sure to inform the nursing home administration about your concerns and file a formal complaint.
To build a strong case, it's crucial to thoroughly investigate and document the nursing home abuse. Our wolf pack will work closely with you to gather relevant evidence, such as medical records, witness testimonies, photographs of injuries, and surveillance footage. This evidence will be critical in establishing liability and seeking compensation for your loved one's suffering.
Why Should You Call Us?
By pursuing legal action against nursing home abuse, you not only seek justice for your loved one but you also contribute to preventing future nursing home abuse cases. Holding negligent facilities accountable sends a strong message, and encourages the improvement of standards and regulations within the industry.
