NURSING HOME ABUSE

A nursing home resident and his or her family members may have one of several types of claims against a nursing home that is complicit in the physical, sexual, emotional, or financial abuse of that resident. An elder abuse case may apply to residents over the age of 65, while nursing home neglect and negligent hiring also provide grounds for civil claims. Nursing homes have a high standard of care subject to federal and state rules and regulations. When a care facility fails to adhere to these standards and this leads to the neglect, abuse, or wrongful death of a resident, this provides grounds for a suit. A Sacramento nursing home abuse lawyer helps by holding the nursing home accountable for its negligence. He or she also works to negotiate a fair settlement with insurance companies, demanding compensation for the family’s material and intangible losses. Finally, an attorney can help assure that the state files criminal charges against any parties who commit abuse.
