The sad reality is that nursing home abuse is more prevalent than you might think. In a perfect world, our elders would be respected and cared for by their caretakers but that’s not always the case. If you or someone you love has been through any type of abuse, whether physical or emotional, that was caused by an employee in a nursing home, then now is the time to contact Law Offices of Michael A. Kahn. We have experience standing up for senior citizens and look forward to helping you get the compensation you deserve.
There are many types of elder abuse
The term elder abuse doesn’t just refer to a single type of abuse. In fact, at Law Offices of Michael A. Kahn we’ve worked on cases involving a wide range of types of elder abuse. They include:
- Extreme bedsores
- Dehydration
- Not property giving out medication
- Emotional, sexual, or physical abuse
- Failure to provide activities and other social services
- Slip and fall injuries
- Failure to clean well enough
- Refusing doctors or visitors access
- Financial exploitation
- Malnutrition
- Theft
- Wrongful death
The first step is gathering information
When you’re worried about your elder being abused, the first thing you need is to gather evidence of their abuse. If you’re not sure what type of evidence you need, call us at (310) 209-1600. We will provide a free consultation and can let you know what’s needed to prove your case.
Someone needs to be held responsible
After we have worked with you to get the evidence we need, we’ll begin the process of preparing our legal argument. Our goal is always to make sure that those who are responsible don’t get away with their abuse. We will do everything we can to ensure that they’re held responsible and that you get the compensation you’re deserved.
You may be able to seek damages for a wide range of symptoms
We work with families who only want their elder to be treated well. While that may be the first concern if you find out someone is being abused, remember that the best way to get a nursing home to take these issues seriously is to ensure that there’s a financial consequence to the actions. You or your loved ones may be able to seek damages for:
- Mental suffering – including emotional distress.
- Past and future medical expenses.
- Home nursing services.
- Pain and suffering.
- Necessary hospital stays.
- Physical disability.
