Signs and Evidence of Nursing Home Abuse

If you feel something isn’t right, you should pay significant attention to that gut feeling. This is especially true if your loved one is unable to communicate with you. Some common warning signs of elder abuse include:

• Sudden emotional or physical changes
• Hesitance when answering questions from loved ones
• Discomfort around certain staff members
• Apparent dehydration or malnourishment
• Untreated medical conditions or injuries

Pay attention to the facility itself. The following issues may indicate that the nursing home does not properly care for residents:

• Unanswered phone calls and requests
• Disorganized, overwhelmed, or inadequate facility staff
• High rates of nursing home staff turnover

The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) offers more signs of abuse that can help you recognize any behaviors or changes you may have noticed in your loved one. If you have noticed any of these danger signs, you can reach out to us. Our law firm will investigate the matter and seek compensation for your loved one if abuse or neglect is the case.

Recoverable Damages for Nursing Home Neglect

While no amount of compensation can atone for the physical and cognitive damages your loved one sustained, we fight hard for financial recovery that helps you and them get a fresh start.

By offering warm and supportive legal services, we encourage and support our clients because we care about them. In fact, if you work with us, you will get a small-firm feel combined with a big-firm experience. We also make sure you understand our fee agreement right from the beginning. If you do not win your case, we will not charge you any attorney’s fees.

Economic Damages

The economic damages we request in your case include all relevant medical bills and required medications. It also covers the cost of assistive medical devices that support your loved one’s recovery, such as walkers and hospital beds. We also will request coverage for any therapies, surgical procedures, and transportation costs for their appointments.

In addition, no one should have to return to or stay in a nursing home where they do not feel safe and well cared for. We will request that you receive payment from the liable party to cover the costs of moving your loved one to a safer place.

Non-Economic Damages

The victims of nursing home negligence and their families can recover damages for their:

• Diminished quality of life
• Mental anguish
• Emotional anxiety
• Pain and suffering

When we represent you, we use your loved one’s nursing home records, incident reports, physical and mental health care records, and expected prognosis to determine how much their non-economic damages are worth.
