Proving nursing home abuse can be challenging, but there are several steps you can take if you suspect abuse:

1. Document any signs of abuse: If you witness any signs of abuse or neglect, such as bruises, cuts, or unexplained injuries, take photos or videos of the injuries, and document the date and time. Make notes of what you saw with as much detail as you can.
2. Report suspected abuse: Report the suspected abuse to the nursing home administration and state regulatory agency. Do this in writing if you can, or follow up with a written report confirming the verbal report. This will help create a record of the suspected abuse and prompt an investigation.
3. Seek medical attention: If the resident has been physically or sexually abused, seek medical attention as soon as possible. The medical records can serve as evidence of the abuse.
4. Hire an attorney: Consult with an attorney experienced in nursing home abuse cases to determine your legal rights and options. An attorney can help you gather evidence, file a complaint, and pursue legal action against the nursing home.
5. Cooperate with investigators: If an investigation is launched, cooperate fully with investigators and provide any evidence or information that may help establish the abuse.

It’s important to remember that proving nursing home abuse can be a difficult and complex process but taking these steps can help ensure that the resident is protected and that the facility is held accountable for its actions.

A nursing home abuse lawyer is a legal professional who specializes in representing individuals and families who have been victims of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities. A nursing home abuse lawyer does many things. A few details:

Investigates allegations of abuse or neglect: The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation of the allegations, collect evidence, and interview witnesses to build a strong case. This involves reading thousands of pages of medical records; obtaining and reviewing complaints about other instances of abuse and neglect; taking depositions of key witnesses; and much more.

Determines liability: The lawyer will determine who is legally responsible for the abuse or neglect, such as the nursing home facility, the management company, and even sometimes individual staff members or third-party contractors.

Advises clients on their legal rights and options: The lawyer will explain the legal process and advise clients on their options, such as filing a lawsuit or pursuing other legal remedies. We talk about different legal tools, such as lawsuits, arbitration, and mediation. We walk through different processes like discovery, depositions, and more. We want to have clients who understand the process and what is happening, and encourage questions and check-ins to stay up to speed on your case.

Negotiates with insurance companies or nursing home representatives: The lawyer will negotiate with insurance companies or nursing home representatives to obtain fair compensation for the client.

Represents clients in court: When necessary, the lawyer will represent clients in court or at arbitration hearings.

Provides emotional support and guidance: The lawyer will provide emotional support and guidance to clients and their families throughout the legal process. This is a tough process coming after usually one of the worst situations a family has ever experienced. It’s difficult and complicated, and we’re here to help take some of that burden.

The ultimate goal of a nursing home abuse lawyer is to help their clients obtain justice and fair compensation for the harm that has been done to them. By holding nursing homes and their staff accountable for their actions, nursing home abuse lawyers play an important role in protecting the rights and well-being of elderly or disabled individuals.
