Los Angeles Nursing Home Abuse Attorney
Senior citizens may decide to move into a nursing home, assisted living establishment or long term care facility once they no longer can provide adequate care for themselves. A nursing home is supposed to provide a positive, nurturing environment, and protect its residents from negative effects of aging and related physical or mental conditions. Unfortunately, a nursing home experience may not be a positive one, and residents may become victims of:
- Physical abuse or attacks
- Emotional abuse
- Sexual abuse or attacks
- Financial exploitation
- Negligence or neglect
- False imprisonment
Sometimes this abuse is not reported because residents are embarrassed, afraid the report will not be taken seriously, or they will experience more abuse. In some cases, the resident may not have the capacity to speak out and report their situation. If you think a member of your family is a victim of abuse or negligence in a nursing home, contact our firm for a free consultation. There is no fee to talk to an attorney and we will not charge for services unless we win your case.
Negligence constitutes a nursing home’s failure to recognize and provide for a resident’s basic needs. Nursing home negligence may result in a residence experiencing:
- Bedsores
- Bruises
- Choking
- Decubitus ulcers
- Dehydration
- Emotional withdrawal
- Gangrene
- Infections
- Injuries resulting from falls
- Malnutrition
- Medication overdoses
- Osteomyelitis
- Pressure sores
- Rapid weight loss
- Sepsis
- Skin ulcers
Neglect can also include the lack of monitoring or failure to supervise, and a patient may become lost or missing. Negligence can also include:
- Improper maintenance of the premises
- Negligent hiring and retention of employees
- Negligent maintenance of equipment
Nursing home employees, feeling overworked and underpaid, may take out their frustrations on residents in the form of unreasonable care, neglect and intentional abuse. We find this conduct appalling and unacceptable. Do not let a member of your family fall victim to nursing home abuse. The attorneys at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can help you bring justice and recover monetary compensation for damages.
Almost always, when a person becomes a nursing home resident, they enter into a contract with the home which explains the services they will be entitled to and the costs of these services. Failure of the nursing home facility to provide the care detailed in a contract may constitute a breach of contract. An Estey & Bomberger, LLP Los Angeles nursing home lawyer can bring a lawsuit to the nursing home under this breach of contract theory. For more information, please contact our AV rated personal injury law firm. We have over 70 years of experience and have recovered millions in verdicts and settlements for our clients.
Sadly, nursing home abuse has affected critical numbers of senior citizens in recent years. If you believe a family member, including your parents, grandparents, or great grandparents, may be experiencing nursing home or abuse, please call us as soon as possible. Our legal team is available to take your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (213)596-4855. You may also fill out a case review form on our site and a nursing home abuse attorney will contact you. We will set up a nursing home abuse consultation with a qualified Los Angeles elder care lawyer. Because time limitations exist for bringing your nursing home abuse claim, please call us as soon as possible.
At Estey & Bomberger, LLP, our Los Angeles nursing home abuse lawyers find nursing home neglect and abuse appalling. If a member of your family has endured physical, emotional, or mental injuries or death, as a result of negligence or abuse in a nursing home, we can help you hold the organization accountable legally and financially.
