Denver Nursing Home Abuse Attorney
Nursing Home Abuse
The incidents of nursing home abuse have increased as our population ages, and injuries and other damages are often the result. When policy and procedure regarding proper care of the elderly is not followed or ignored by the nursing home staff, legal action must be taken immediately. The residents of the home may not report the abuse due to fear of retaliation or physical incapacity. Some of our loved ones suffer from dementia and may be unable to communicate the situation. Carefully observing our loved ones and their condition while in a nursing home is vital, and when abuse is apparent, contacting a Denver personal injury attorney and the authorities at once can save lives.
Nursing home abuse comes in many forms:
- Elderly abuse
- Physical abuse
- Incorrect medication or the wrong dosage
- Malnutrition
- Mental and psychological abuse
- Sexual abuse
At Anderson, Hemmat & Levine, LLC we understand just how vulnerable one is when under the complete control of another for medical care & treatment. Our elderly family members have rights and no individual should be treated without the compassion, dignity and respect they are entitled to. Our legal team takes on such cases with a firm resolve to fight for the rights of the injured victim.
