Los Angeles Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Fighting Against Nursing Home Abuse

Los Angeles has thousands of nursing homes across the city, many of them highly reputable and provide a welcome sanctuary for those who cannot take care of themselves and require nursing home assistance.  Sadly, there are the few that take advantage of the sick and elderly and mistreat them.  When you place your loved one in a nursing home, you expect the best of treatment, with respect and dignity to be granted to your loved one.  When this fails to occur, reporting the matter to the proper authorities and seeking a reputable Los Angeles personal injury attorney is crucial to the outcome of your case against the nursing home.

Abuse can take many forms, from simple negligence to outright cruelty.  As many of our elderly are unable to speak up for themselves, this treatment may go unnoticed for some time.  Some indications of abuse can include bed sores, frequent falls, malnutrition, overmedication, dehydration and general neglect.  The more obvious signs of abuse can include physical and sexual abuse, as well as mental cruelty.
