Our Hamilton Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Address Mistreatment Across Support Facilities
When you put your loved ones in someone else’s care, you trust that the facility’s staff members will treat them with the care and dignity they deserve. Unfortunately, medical professionals in nursing homes and other care facilities can actively endanger the people you love or neglect them to the point of injury or death.
Working with a nursing home abuse attorney in Hamilton lets you do more than challenge instances of mistreatment. Your active steps to protect your loved ones can prevent other residents from falling victim to mistreatment. The legal team at Shore Law can specifically help you investigate allegations of abuse in:
- Nursing homes
- Assisted living facilities
- Group homes
- Community Integrated Living Arrangements
- Independent living facilities
We can help you break down what kind of care residents in these facilities are meant to receive and what types of behaviors violate those standards. We can also emphasize the importance of consent, especially among seniors who struggle to represent themselves, and ensure that misconduct doesn’t get swept under the rug.
We Know How to Identify a Wide Range of Nursing Home Abuse
Your loved ones can fall victim to a wide range of abuses if under the care of inattentive or malevolent staff members. Some of the most common types of abuse to plague nursing home residents and residents in other facilities include:
- Emotional abuse: Systemic attempts to belittle, isolate, and/or ostracize nursing home residents.
- Physical abuse: Active attempts to harm nursing home residents, often by pushing, shoving, exposing residents to dangerous situations, or failing to provide residents with the physical care they need to remain healthy.
- Abuse from negligence: Nursing home staff members who ignore residents’ needs can let those residents fall victim to bedsores, malnutrition, dental infections, and worsening physical or emotional health.
- Sexual abuse: Staff members can take advantage of nonconsenting residents or residents who do not have the capacity to consent via inappropriate touching, nonconsensual oral sex, and nonconsensual penetrative sex.
You don’t have to identify evidence of nursing home abuse on your own. If you notice a loved one pulling away from you emotionally, suffering from new and unexplained injuries, or otherwise undergoing a sharp change in behavior, reach out to a Hamilton, OH, nursing home abuse attorney. We can start investigating your loved one’s situation right away.
We Fight on Behalf of You and Your Family
Nursing home abuse merits an immediate response from legal professionals. However, there’s a difference between taking civil and criminal action against an abusive nursing home.
Working with our staff doesn’t let you charge abusive nursing home staff members with crimes, although you retain the right to reach out to local police with the information you have about institutional abuse.
Instead, we allow you to take civil action against an abusive nursing home. Filing a nursing home abuse claim with Ohio’s civil courts gives you the right to demand compensation based on a loved one’s mistreatment. We can subsequently help you secure a verdict or settlement based on:
- A loved one’s essential, abuse-related medical treatments.
- Essential psychological care.
- A loved one’s rental expenses or care fees.
- Emotional distress.
- Pain and suffering.
- Reduced quality of life.
- A loved one’s wrongful death if instances of abuse become fatal.
