Recognizing the Signs of Elder Abuse

Elder abuse and dependent adult abuse does not necessarily have to involve physical contact with the victim. Oftentimes inadequate supervision by nursing home staff or home health aides may result in serious injury to the victim. It can be tempting to chalk up injuries to the frail condition of the victim; however, your suspicions should be aroused if you notice:

• Extensive bruising
• Seriously infected bed sores
• Inexplicable broken bones
• Confused nursing home residents wandering away from the home
• Malnutrition

All of the above may be signs that your loved one is experiencing some form of abuse. Our experienced California personal injury lawyers can help determine whether your loved one is receiving adequate supervision, and can help get compensation for injuries a loved one has suffered. We have a long track record of winning our clients significant verdicts and settlements.

Holding Health Care Companies Accountable

It is easy to blame individual staff members for poor supervision, whether it be nursing home staff or home health aides; however, inadequate supervision is often a problem that begins at the highest levels. The owners of a company may be responsible for failing to have adequate staff on duty, or failing to ensure that their staff receives proper training. We are willing to go after not just individuals, but the companies who employ them as well. We will also take on individuals and companies who prey on vulnerable adults' sense of trust and exploit this for financial gain.
