Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

Many families trust nursing homes to care for their elderly family members. However, in many cases, their trust is met by nursing home abuse, negligence, and more. The National Institute of Health estimates that 10% of people over the age of 65 have been the victims of elder abuse.

Suddenly the assisted living facility you trusted has betrayed you in the worst way possible, by neglecting the care of your loved one. When you or a loved one have been mistreated at a nursing home in South Florida, it’s time for an attorney to fight for your rights.

Signs of Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing home residents often need help with daily activities, such as moving, eating, personal hygiene, and so on. When someone is admitted to an assisted living facility, he or she expects to receive the respect, dignity, and care from the nursing home staff that he or she deserves.

Unfortunately, due to many factors, nursing homes can fail to fulfill their obligations. The truth is that nursing home neglect and elder abuse can take many forms, all detrimental to the health of our loved ones.

Physical Abuse

This type of abuse can range from pushing to hitting and other behaviors, which can lead to both civil liability and criminal action.

Emotional Abuse

Sometimes negligence can be emotional, such as name-calling or withholding necessities. Emotional abuse can have many consequences for seniors and result in medical issues in the long term.

Sexual Abuse

Nursing home staff members can engage in non-consensual sexual acts with residents. Also, other residents can engage in sexually abusive behavior. The nursing home is responsible for making sure their residents are safe.

Financial Abuse

Seniors are often vulnerable to being financially abused or property taken improperly by the staff.

Chemical Restraint

Improperly prescribing medications to make residents more docile is a common form of elder abuse.

Neglect

Failure to keep residents in proper living and the caring condition is the most insidious type of nursing home neglect.

In many cases, these signs are not immediately visible to family members. However, alerting negligence signs such as bedsores, broken bones, constant falls, and other indications often signal abuse.

Let Us Protect Your Loved Ones

Build Your Nursing Home Neglect Legal Team

Our elderly loved ones deserve dignity, respect, and quality care. When any of those are ignored by the negligence or carelessness of individuals and corporations, legal action must be taken.

At LJW Legal, we’re committed to helping you identify and prove negligence to fight for the rights of nursing home abuse victims.

Nursing care facilities owe their residents a duty of care. When that duty is breached, and there’s evidence of negligence, our nursing home neglect lawyers are here to fight for you.

Building your legal team means you have the right representation by your side. Florida Law provides a four-year statute of limitations on negligence claims and two years in medical malpractice claims.

The Rights of Victims

Nursing homes are responsible for the actions of their staff and can be held accountable for negligence claims. Nursing homes are also liable if their policies and procedures are found negligent compared to what should be considered reasonable care.

Victims of nursing home abuse and their families may file a civil lawsuit against the nursing home responsible. If an injured senior brings the claim, then our nursing home neglect attorneys proceed with a personal injury case. When the claim comes from surviving family members, then a wrongful death claim must be initiated.

In both cases, the attorneys at LJW Legal, will aggressively fight for your rights to make sure the nursing home is accountable for their actions.
