Representation for Nursing Abuse Victims in Los Angeles
When placing a loved one in the care of a nursing home, both the staff and the nursing home administration are trusted to provide proper care, treatment, and attention. Unfortunately, sometimes the very people entrusted to care for your loved one are the same people to violate that trust. If you think that your loved one may be the victim of nursing home abuse, it’s important to speak with an experienced attorney right away. Nursing home abuse is a serious and very real problem that continues to result in the injury, harm, or death of thousands of elderly people every year. People who commit nursing home abuse must be held accountable for their actions and brought to justice. At the Law Offices of Michael F. Moran, we can provide you with the experienced, committed legal counsel you need to file a successful lawsuit against the caretaker or nursing home responsible for causing harm, injury, or death to your loved one.
What is Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse refers to any acts of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment committed by a nursing home staff member against a resident or patient. Nursing home abuse can refer to physical abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse, or neglect.
If you feel your loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse, finding an experienced Los Angeles nursing home abuse attorney you can trust should be your number one priority. It’s important to take your suspicions very seriously, as many victims of nursing home abuse will not speak up out of fear of retaliation. There are signs you can look for that may signify that your loved one is being abused, neglected, or mistreated, such as:
- He/she is acting more withdrawn, quiet, less social
- He/she has lost a significant amount of weight
- He/she has mysterious or unexplainable marks, bruises, or scrapes on the body
- He/she has one or more bedsore/pressure sore
- He/she suddenly changed his/her will, transferred money, or withdrew money from the bank without a logical explanation
