What You Need to Know About Elder Abuse & Exploitation?

Nursing home abuse is a nationwide problem, but one that is woefully under-recognized. Many cases of nursing home abuse / elder abuse go unreported. Our firm stands as a strong advocate for abuse victims. We realize that taking action on behalf of individual victims makes the system better, more accountable, and safer as a whole. We encourage you to take action for yourself or your loved one.

Abuse can take many forms:

Physical abuse
Financial abuse / exploitation
Neglect
Emotional abuse
Sexual abuse

It is important to remain vigilant and to watch for signs of abuse if you have a loved one in a nursing home or other long-term care facility. Look for changes in mood or behavior, as well as any unexplained injuries, sudden and dramatic changes to finances, and other concerning signs of potential abuse or exploitation.

Never be afraid to act on any suspicions you may have. If you have questions about a potential lawsuit regarding nursing home abuse, don’t hesitate to speak with a nursing home injury attorney from our team.

Proving a Nursing Home Abuse Claim

Proving a nursing home abuse case requires a combination of evidence to establish that abuse or neglect occurred and that it directly caused harm to the resident.

Here’s a breakdown of the types of evidence that we typically want when pursuing these types of matters:

Medical Records: Injuries and treatment, along with doctor’s notes and physician’s orders are needed. Documentation of any injuries, illnesses, or other health issues that have arisen as a result of the abuse or neglect.
Photographic Evidence: Visible Injuries and photos of any physical injuries, such as bruises, cuts, or bedsores. Photos or videos of living conditions, the living environment that clearly shows unsafe or unsanitary condition.
Witness Testimony: If the resident is capable, their firsthand account of the abuse or neglect and any family member’s reports who have noticed changes in the resident’s condition, behavior, or living conditions. Statements from other staff members or residents who may have witnessed the abuse or neglect.
Incident Reports: Any reports filed by the nursing home regarding incidents of injury, altercations, or complaints. Records from any investigations by regulatory agencies into complaints or violations at the facility.
Expert Testimony: Experts who can interpret medical records and injuries to confirm that they are consistent with abuse or neglect. Experts with knowledge of nursing home operations and standards who can testify about deviations from accepted practices.
Surveillance Footage: Any available video recordings that might show the abuse or the conditions in which the resident was living.
Documentation of Complaints: Records (Emails, filed reports or letters) of any formal complaints filed with the nursing home or with state agencies regarding the resident’s care.

The combination of these elements can help establish the occurrence of abuse or neglect, link it to specific harm suffered by the resident, and demonstrate that the nursing home failed to meet the standard of care required by law.

When you believe your loved one has suffered any type of abuse from their caregivers, it is crucial to hire an Atlanta nursing home abuse lawyer you trust quickly. They can provide valuable guidance for removing your loved one from their dangerous situation and taking full advantage of your options for legal recourse.

A successful personal injury case for nursing home abuse can potentially yield various forms of compensation that can help your family feel a sense of closure, and it is possible for the defendant to face criminal penalties as well. Ultimately, any nursing home abuse case will involve various unique challenges.

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.
