California Trial Lawyers: Physical Abuse in Nursing Homes
Residents in nursing homes and residential care facilities are especially vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse, neglect and exploitation. At The Garcia Law Firm, our goal as attorneys is to stand up for them. Our team of experienced Los Angeles area trial attorneys holds abusive providers accountable for the harm they cause. We aim to prevent future harm through aggressive and ethical advocacy.
Nursing homes often fail to protect residents from physical abuse either by negligently hiring abusive staff members or by not supervising residents known to be violent. Fractures from beatings, burns, bruises and other injuries may be signs of abuse. Families should also look for sudden personality changes, where the resident appears unhappy or withdrawn as a result of battery.
Sexual Assault
Although often underreported, nursing home sexual assault and abuse is a very real threat to elderly and vulnerable nursing home residents. Assaults are often committed by nursing home staff members themselves. They are also committed by other residents who are improperly monitored by the facility staff. If you suspect rape, molestation or any other type of sexual assault, acting quickly is very important.
The Garcia Law Firm has achieved a record of success, including multi-million dollar jury verdicts and settlements in elder abuse lawsuits. We fight hard for our clients, knowing that no one deserves the pain of abuse.
