NURSING HOME ABUSE

Nursing Home Abuse Information - Lawyers in San Diego

Nursing home abuse has been on the rise in recent years, as facilities and staff attempt to keep up with the number of residents in their care. However, there are standards of care in nursing homes that must be upheld. If you suspect a loved one is not receiving adequate care, contact our nursing home abuse attorneys. Our lawyers in San Diego at Kerry Steigerwalt's Pacific Law Center are dedicated to holding the negligent party accountable for their actions.

Nursing home negligence occurs when a resident is abused or neglected in a nursing home. Nursing home abuse can result in wrongful death, falls resulting in broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, decubitus ulcers, and residents wandering off the nursing home premises and injuring themselves. The staff at the facility is responsible for ensuring proper care of residents so they cannot be held liable for nursing home abuse.

Our lawyers in San Diego will fight for you when a nursing home fails to administer care in a professional and compassionate manner. If you or your loved one has suffered from inadequate care, you may be entitled to compensation. It is important to thoroughly understand the warning signs of potential elder abuse, and contact us immediately so we can preserve any evidence.

Because the nursing home industry has become a multi-billion dollar business comprised of major corporations, efficiency and profitability have often become more important than administering proper care. For this reason, both federal and state governments have introduced legislation to protect residents from nursing home abuse, and our attorneys in San Diego are well versed in this area of litigation.

When a person decides to put their mother or father in a nursing home, it is usually for the safety of their loved ones. When that trust is broken and your loved ones are being neglected or abused, you need the help our nursing home abuse lawyers. The attorneys in San Diego at Kerry Steigerwalt's Pacific Law Center will fight for your rights and the rights of those you love.
