Elder Care and Nursing Home Neglect Attorney

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. 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, contact a nursing home neglect attorney to fight for your rights.

You trusted the nursing home, but they were negligent. It’s time to hold them accountable.

Alerting 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 Defense 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 the victims of nursing home abuse.

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 defense 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 Right 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.

I hired Alex Jean for a personal injury case and little did I know I was going to get world class treatment.I was referred to the best Chiropractors in Miami and then when I moved to St.Pete the LJW team had great connections there too.My Tesla is as good as new, my back is recovering and not to mention the settlement from the insurance. If I didn’t hire them I’d still be trying to recover money from insurance to fix my car.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you need a personal injury attorney I 100% recommend Alex Jean and the team at LJW.

Ryan Wechsler is an excellent attorney. He worked tirelessly on my case, which was a difficult one to begin with. When other attorneys were given me issues to take my case, he was the only one that was reassuring and determine to seek justice for me. I completely trusted his counsel. Had it not been for Mr. Wechsler I would have accumulated a lot of debt. I am forever grateful that he accepted my case.

Ryan and the team are absolute rock stars! I got a recommendation from a good friend to use them, and I was not disappointed. They solved my issue with one strong letter and avoided a bad situation and lots of time and $$$ saved. I will definitely be using them again if the need ever arises.

Very good firm. I had an unusual case. A crane dropped on my car the week of Christmas. Considering the fact my accident occurred during the holiday season, Lyle and his paralegal, Helen, ensured that I received treatment the same day, got a rental, and even settled my case in less than 6 months.They were extremely polite, communicative, and on top of everything. I highly recommend reaching out to them for great legal representation.
