Nursing Home/Elder Abuse
California Elder Abuse Lawyer
The vast majority of nursing home and home health care workers do their jobs with concern and affection for their patients. But sometimes, the institution or an individual worker can, through negligence or willful abuse, cause serious injury or death to the vulnerable elderly.
At The Law Offices of Freeman & Freeman, we help victims of nursing home neglect and abuse get compensation for their suffering – to right a wrong and to prevent it from happening again. As highly experienced nursing home injury and medical malpractice attorneys, we know how to recognize nursing home and assisted living negligence, and act to get justice for the victims.
Signs of Neglect and Abuse
Victims of nursing home neglect and elder abuse often do not fully realize what is happening to them. If you suspect that your family member or loved one is the victim of such activity or that your deceased relative was the victim of neglect of abuse, you should call us at 1-800-578-7141 or 707-575-7141 to discuss this situation. Signs of neglect and abuse include:
- Bedsores
- Unexplained abrasions or bruises
- Frequent falling out of bed
- Reluctant or evasive explanations from caregivers
- Medication error or overmedication
- Emotional outbursts or emotional withdrawal
Our attorneys can advise you about how to get justice for your loved one. Remember that the elderly, even when they are mentally alert, cannot always act assertively to protect themselves. If you suspect that a family member has suffered neglect or abuse, it is up to you to take action. Your loved one does not have to suffer. Your loved one should not have died in vain.
Together, we can act to obtain rightful compensation and justice for your family member – and we can stop this shameful behavior from happening to someone else.
