Whenever you have to place a loved one in a nursing home, you want to make sure that he or she is well cared for. Unfortunately, elder abuse is a real problem in our society, and it’s not unheard of for nursing home residents to be abused or neglected.
If you suspect or know that your family member is being abused in a nursing home, it’s best to tackle the misconduct head-on. One of your first moves should be to consult with a Manhattan nursing home abuse lawyer from Greenstein & Milbauer, LLP.
Our firm will help you hold the nursing home or assisted living facility accountable so that you and your family can get justice.
Examples of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
It’s a sad thing, but elder abuse takes many forms in nursing homes, any of which could entitle your family to financial compensation for the damage done:
- Physical Abuse – Punching, kicking, or otherwise physically harming patients
- Verbal Abuse – Yelling or screaming at patients
- Medical Abuse – Withholding medicine or over-medicating in an attempt to keep patients sedated
- Nutritional Abuse – Not providing patients with enough food or water
- Neglect – Not attending to medical needs, such as changing bandages, or not responding to help calls
- Sexual Abuse – Inappropriate touching or physical contact, including rape
Sometimes it’s difficult to prove when the abuse began and who was responsible, but your Manhattan nursing home neglect attorney will investigate what happened and identify who was liable. Once we’ve gathered all the available evidence, we can determine how much compensation your family is owed for your losses.
Compensation for Elder Abuse
The trauma that your elderly family member has experienced deserves to be compensated. Obtaining the full cost of your damages will hold the abusive party responsible and allow your family to pick up the pieces and begin the process of healing and getting life back to normal.
Knowing what your claim is worth isn’t an easy process, however, and the emotions involved in dealing with what happened can further cloud things. Your nursing home abuse attorney will work with you and your loved one’s doctors to ensure that all of your losses are accounted for.
You could be eligible to recover all of the following damages that apply to your elderly family member’s case:
- Medical expenses for treatments, therapy, medication, and equipment
- Cost of moving to a new nursing home or assisted living facility
- Transportation expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
