Stand Against Elder Abuse in All Its Forms
Nursing home abuse or elder abuse can be carried out in a number of different ways. The root of all forms of abuse is that it is harm that has been intentionally done, which adds a criminal element to a case or claim. Our attorneys can network with local police investigators if they become involved with the case or if the case began with the arrest of a suspect. They might have valuable evidence that could be used in your civil claim, whether or not any charges or convictions ever happen.
A few common forms of nursing home abuse include:
- Physical violence
- Sexual assault
- Intimidation tactics
- Belittling or humiliating
- Intentional social isolation
- Mental coercion
Abuse in a nursing home can be carried out by a nursing home staff member or another elderly resident. In either situation, the nursing home can be held liable for failing to protect your loved one from the abuse.
