Were You or a Loved Abused in a Nursing Home Abuse? You May Have Rights
An estimated 1.6 million Americans live in nursing homes. Unfortunately, many of them suffer physical, sexual, emotional, and other forms of abuse at the hands of nursing home staff, doctors, nurses, and other residents. Many of the victims are elderly or severely disabled people who are unable to protect themselves against the abuse.
If you, your parent, or another loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse, you may have legal rights. You may be eligible to receive financial compensation for your injuries while holding the offending party responsible. The nursing home may be negligent for failing to properly screen or supervise its workers or provide adequate security measures. Doctors and nurses who fail to properly treat patients up to accepted medical standards may be guilty of medical malpractice or medical negligence.
At Mark & Associates, P.C. we are dedicated to helping victims of nursing home abuse. Victims may be entitled to financial compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages. If a loved one has died as the result of nursing home abuse, you may qualify for wrongful death damages.
