Leaders in California Elder Law
Stephen Garcia serves as a legislative analyst on behalf of elders in the State of California. He advises the California Legislature on issues affecting the rights and safety of elder and infirm adults. He has testified before the Legislature in support of legislation advancing the rights and concerns of California's elders.
Common elder law matters include nursing home abuse, nursing home neglect, insurance law disputes and bad faith insurance claims.
The Garcia Law Firm has the capacity and the desire to handle these matters. We have the knowledge to identify the differences between abuse and neglect. We recognize abuse and neglect go hand-in-hand, and we understand the best way to proceed with each type of case. Abuse can be thought of as violating a standard of how a nursing home resident is treated. Neglect can be thought of as a caregiver's failure to act. Abuse and neglect can therefore manifest in many harmful situations such as the following:
- Bed sores
- Bowel and bladder injuries
- Burns
- Fractures
- Improper restraints
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Mismanagement of diabetes
- Physical and sexual abuse
- Repetitive falls
- Untreated infections
- Wandering off
In addition to our Long Beach location, we have an office in Phoenix, Arizona and offer nationwide representation.
