New Jersey Physical Abuse Attorneys
When a loved one moves to a nursing home, they become dependent on the friendly treatment of caretakers to make sure they get assistance when they need it. However, some caretakers at nursing homes inexcusably use their position of power among these elderly residents as an opportunity to harm others. These abusers can seriously injure nursing home residents, who are often weak and vulnerable, resulting in lasting damage that requires significant medical attention.
If someone you love has been injured because of an abusive nursing home worker, it is more than understandable that you want to see justice served. Our experienced attorneys may be able to help you. To learn more about your options at this time, contact the New Jersey nursing home physical abuse lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529.
Seeking Justice for a Loved One
A nursing home employee is responsible for the safety and well-being of all those residents they watch over. If a worker betrays this responsibility and injures a resident, they can and should be held accountable for any harm they cause. Seek legal assistance immediately if your loved one has suffered any of the following at the hands of an abusive nursing home employee:
- Cuts, internal bleeding, or bruising
- Broken bones
- Lack of proper nutrition
- Long-term injuries from immobilization, including bed sores and blood clots
- Brain injuries
These injuries can leave an injured person in need of immediate and extensive medical treatment and can leave their family feeling betrayed, angry, and worried about their loved one’s well-being.
