Elder and Nursing Home Abuse
We can help seniors and their families if they are victims of elder abuse or neglect nursing home care. Nursing homes are subject to regular inspections, and many of them have problems and deficiencies. As caretakers, these facilities and their employees owe a duty of good care to those who live there. When the caretakers fail to meet their duty, whether intentionally or carelessly, the attorneys at Bathgate, Wegener & Wolf will hold them accountable, and be your advocates.
These can be difficult cases; often, the victim cannot or will not speak up about what happened to them. Injuries are common, and should not be justified simply as a “normal” consequence of aging, without a full and thorough investigation.
There are many signs: falls, dehydration, malnutrition, bruising, and bedsores. These are not “normal,” and they are not excusable. You can certainly report these situations to the Department of Health, but you should also speak to us about other legal rights, and remedies, including the right to full and fair compensation for injuries and wounds and emotional abuse that should not have occurred.
We offer a FREE telephone consultation, and we look forward to hearing from you.
