The National Council on Aging reports that about 10% of Americans over the age of 60 have experienced some type of elder abuse at least once in their life, and most elder abuse is committed by victims’ caregivers. Nursing home abuse takes many forms, including:

Physical abuse, such as intentionally hitting a nursing home resident or using excessive force when lifting or repositioning them. Pay close attention to any unexplained injuries. Nursing home staff must be able to provide incident reports and clear explanations for falls or other physical injuries. Consult an attorney right away if they do not.
Sexual abuse, which can include any type of sexual assault or battery. The person who did this will likely be criminally prosecuted and could face fines, jail time, and mandatory sex offender registration.
Financial exploitation. Nursing home staff may steal from residents or commit identity theft, such as using personal information to open fraudulent credit cards. This behavior can sometimes continue for a long time before anyone notices.
Confinement. It can be incredibly damaging for nursing home staff to keep a patient isolated without a clear medical reason.
Intentional neglect. Nursing home caregivers must address patients’ basic living needs, such as food, water, medication, and clean bedding. Intentionally neglecting residents can cause their health to deteriorate rapidly.
Psychological abuse. This could include verbal abuse, excessive ridicule, manipulation, or preying on residents with memory impairment.

Ultimately, nursing home abuse can happen in various ways, and you must be vigilant for any signs that your elderly family member has been mistreated. Once you have determined that any type of abuse has occurred, you should hire a nursing home abuse lawyer right away. This will provide your legal representative with as much time as possible to gather necessary evidence and build a strong case for the victim.

FAQs

How Do You Prove Nursing Home Abuse in LaGrange?

To prove nursing home abuse in LaGrange, you may need evidence that an experienced attorney can obtain for you. Incident reports that explain sudden injuries, medical records, witness statements from nursing home staff and other residents, and even expert witness testimony could be crucial for proving nursing home abuse. Some of this evidence will be difficult to obtain without an attorney’s help.

What Are the Penalties for Nursing Home Abuse in Georgia?

Penalties for nursing home abuse in Georgia can include more than just liability for the victim’s damages. The specific individual who engaged in the abusive behavior could face criminal prosecution under Georgia’s elder abuse laws, and this could lead to fines, jail time, and other penalties. Additionally, the nursing home can also face penalties if the facts show that they enabled the abuse to occur, or if they knew about it but failed to address it, or concealed it.

What Is a Nursing Home Case Worth in LaGrange?

The value of a nursing home case in LaGrange depends on the severity of the damages the defendant caused. Your LaGrange nursing home abuse attorney may be able to recover compensation for the victim’s medical expenses, the cost of transferring them to a new facility, lost income if you were forced to take time away from work to address the situation, and compensation for the victim’s pain and suffering.

You should hire a nursing home abuse lawyer in LaGrange to have a better chance of reaching a favorable outcome in your case.

Associate Brittany Barto was an integral part of my case. She worked with me every step of the way by making absolutely sure that I was well informed and on top of things.

Contacted this firm about my a possible lawsuit against a former employer. Once they had the details and did their own checks of things it was no time a suit was filed. Like any thing with the court system it took time but they called me anytime something changed. They were successful in winning my case! Definitely will use them if I ever need something again!

-Cody W.

Following our terrible car crash in which my hand and arm were permanently damaged, Andrew Lampros and his associates, particularly Brittany Barto, were committed and diligent in pursuing the best settlement possible for me. When the person who hit us had only minimal insurance, Mr. Lampros secured the maximum benefit from that company for everyone who was in my vehicle as well as minimizing the expenses we had to pay. Then, for three years, they continued to pursue a more substantial settlement which they finally obtained for me. Each member of the firm that I dealt with was quite professional and thorough in assisting me through the process. I greatly appreciate what they did for me.

-Judy O.

The only people help me or anybody that would even look at my case was Brittany she made my life definitely easier and made me feel like I have dignity and quality in life and where there’s somebody has a voice thank God for her and her team they are the best I will always recommend them I will never go to another lawyer in the future hopefully nothing will ever happen like this again to me or anyone thank you Britney.
