Nursing Home Abuse
US, Canada and Puerto Rico
Our elders are very precious to us and their abuse should not be tolerated. The only way to prevent nursing home abuses from happening again is to pursue a legal action against the negligent and abusive parties.
If you or a loved one has been abused in a nursing home, you should:
- Obtain names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
- Photograph the scene where the injury occurred and any visible injuries (cuts, bruises). Professional photographs are generally preferable, but not essential.
- Talk to no one about the injury or injuries other than the victim's personal physician or your attorney.
- Consult with us before answering questions from nursing home management or insurance company representatives.
- Tell the victim's personal physician or surgeon exactly how the injury occurred and describe all symptoms and complaints. Be sure to report any changes in memory, increased confusion or disorientation, however minor these things may seem at the time.
- Obtain and keep receipts for all expenses relating to the incident.
If you or your loved one has been injured in a nursing home, it is wise to consult with us as soon as possible. Within the first week, important physical evidence can be lost, and witnesses may forget important details.
