Your loved one should not have to suffer elder and nursing home abuse!

Nursing homes and other senior care facilities have duties to our elderly. California has laws protecting the rights and safety of our elderly and protect them and disabled people from negligence abuse and fraud.

Examples of this type of physical and emotional negligence or abuse may include:

  • Death
  • Injuries of any type, including falling
  • Broken bones
  • Failure to provide medical care for physical and mental health needs
  • Protecting the elder from health and safety hazards
  • Failure to provide proper restraints
  • Physical abuse
  • Bed sores
  • Head injuries
  • Over medication
  • Failure to provide food and liquid, causing malnutrition
  • Failure to assist in personal hygiene
  • Failure to clean and change undergarments and bandages
  • Failure to keep sanitary conditions and change sheets
  • Abandonment
  • Sexual abuse
  • Financial abuse and fraud such as stealing money, checks, property and taking advantage of the assets of the elder.

California Welfare and Institutions Code section 15610.07 provides:

"Abuse of an elder or a dependent adult" means either of the following: (a) Physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction, or other treatment with resulting physical harm or pain or mental suffering. (b) The deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering."

If any of the above has happened to your loved one as a result of elder/nursing home abuse take photographs and document the abuse.

Based on the specific facts and law, monetary damages by the victim of elder/nursing home abuse or the legal survivors of the victim may be awarded.

Very often there is insurance covering these type of cases and it has been said that without an attorney fighting for you insurance companies will do their best to take advantage of you or your loved one. Let's face it, the insurance companies are not in the business of giving away money. They have trained claims adjusters and attorneys trying to pay nothing, or as little as possible.
