A person becomes more vulnerable as they age. This means there are some things that they cannot do on their own. Because of this, some families prefer to hire an in –home nurse for their elder family members. Others help their family members move to nursing homes or facilities that are specially designed to take care of elderly people. Unfortunately, sometimes these care facilities do not always provide adequate care for your loved ones. There are common reports of physical and emotional abuse that can leave the victim scarred. If this has happened to you or to someone you know, you need to contact a nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer.
Physical abuse may be common in nursing homes. The incidents remain unreported because of fear of the consequences or repercussions that reporting it might have. The senior citizen may fear that they will be abused more if they report any damages or abuse. Sometimes senior citizens can be forgetful or confused easily and then they forget to report it or the report is not taken seriously. A big warning sign is bruises or scars which can indicate the sort of abuse that the senior is undergoing.
A nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer will help you understand what really happened. Many times bruises at the wrist indicate that the senior was cuffed in order to restrain them. Bruises at the hips can show that they were held down by a bed rail. The lawyer will help you arrange the case so that you can get justice. They will help you file a complaint suing the nursing home for abuse and neglect. The complaint will be filed to the state which will investigate and report the findings. If the claim is justified, the elderly person will be accorded the necessary protection.
This is the first step of protocol and filing in court is a faster and more effective way. Just as the above procedure is followed for formality, the nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer will commence parallel investigations to substantiate the claim. It is important to look for a law firm that has experience handling and successfully winning such cases. The lawyer must also have good presentation skills to ensure that the case is well presented on behalf of the senior citizen. The lawyer must also make sure that the senior is well protected from further abuse. There are many firms online providing the service and they vary in the level of expertise and professionalism, so it is important to find the one that is right for you.
