Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing home neglect and elder abuse involve the physical, emotional, or sexual abuse of nursing home residents. It may also include financial exploitation of elderly residents. Much of this abuse can be attributed to the fact that many nursing home employees are under-qualified, inadequately trained, or simply overworked. If you believe that your loved one may be the victim of nursing home neglect or elder abuse, an attorney at the Atlanta, Georgia firm of Fried Rogers Goldberg LLC can help you pursue fair compensation.
With millions of elderly people living in nursing homes across the nation, elder abuse at these facilities has become a widespread problem. Unfortunately, elderly residents usually fail to report such abuse because either they have a physical or mental impairment that prevents them from speaking up, or they fear the abuse might become worse. Because of the victim's hesitance or inability to report maltreatment, it becomes the family's responsibility to monitor the resident's care, demeanor, and behavior for signs of neglect or abuse. Contact Fried Rogers Goldberg LLC, to speak with a nursing home neglect and elder abuse attorney at our Atlanta, Georgia firm to learn more about these crimes and find out if you have a case.
Some of the most common signs of nursing home abuse and neglect are unexplained bruising and broken bones, bed sores, malnutrition, withdrawal, depression, and unexpected death. If you have witnessed any of these warning signs and suspect your elderly loved one is the victim of nursing home neglect or elder abuse, contact our medical malpractice attorneys. We can help to ensure that the nursing home staff and facility are held accountable for their criminal, abusive, and negligent actions.
