Nursing Home Abuse

Neglect is Abuse

Nursing homes are not the protective havens for the elderly we used to think they were. Horrible tales of nursing home abuse are in fact now practically commonplace. It’s truly shocking, and we at Evans Law Firm combat it every day on behalf of victims and their families and loved ones. We have years of experience with these kinds of cases, gathering evidence, assessing damages and taking the cases to trial for vindication for our clients. If you or a loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse, call us today at the Evans Law Firm (415)441-8669 and we can help. We take cases of nursing home abuse throughout the State of California.

In a recent case, a daughter filed for abuse and the wrongful death of her mother, institutionalized in a nursing home. The allegations were that the elder was fine one day, and rushed to the hospital in critical condition the next. She was only in the facility for five weeks. After these allegations arose, authorities investigated the nursing home. The investigators drew adverse conclusions on the health and wellness standards of the facility and the effects of the low qualities of care on patients.

Advocates call for a stricter eye on skilled nursing facilities for our elderly. Reforms and improvements in enforcement take time. If you or someone you know has been a victim of abuse in a nursing home, call the authorities but also be sure to pursue your civil remedies in court. California offers additional and very substantial awards to senior victims of financial and physical elder abuse. We at Evans Law Firm, Inc. have vest experience with those kinds of cases. While we always recommend you report abuse to the authorities, you should remember that the authorities will not pursue all the legal remedies available to you; their job is law enforcement and possible restitution. For a fuller recovery, you will need to do more. That’s where the experienced nursing home abuse lawyers at Evans Law Firm can help. Call us today at (415)441-8669 for a consultation. No voice should stay quiet, especially those of our most vulnerable.
