Physical Assault in Washington Nursing Homes
Many times, nursing homes tell families that the symptoms of physical abuse are really the results of an unavoidable accident. But, if something doesn’t feel right, families should talk with a lawyer as soon as possible. Families often notice fractures, burns, bruises and sudden personality changes in their loved ones. They should not be afraid to confront them for what they really are — signs of abuse. Wrongful death also often occurs as the result of nursing home abuse.
Sexual Assault in Washington Nursing Homes
Although it can be difficult to talk about, nursing home sexual assault is a very real threat to elderly and vulnerable nursing home residents. Sexual assaults are committed by residents who are improperly monitored by the facility staff. But many are committed by nursing home staff members themselves — predators who were negligently hired.
Physical and sexual abuse should never happen in a nursing home. Period. If a loved one has become the victim of abuse in a nursing home or skilled care facility, call a lawyer. Contact The Garcia Law Firm, in the Los Angeles area, by calling toll free at 800.281.8515.
