We Take Nursing Home Abuse Cases to Heart

Nursing home abuse violates both state and federal statutes. We share your concerns and outrage that a caregiver or facility could mistreat parents and grandparents who are frail and vulnerable. Our legal team will do all we can to hold the liable parties accountable and pursue compensation for you and your loved one. Should we become your legal advocate, you will have the strength of our firm on your side. A Baldwin nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will seek compensation with a process that includes:

• A thorough review of evidence and documentation to support our claim for abuse or neglect.
• Management of communication with the facility and identification of liable parties (we may also contact state agencies to put the facility on notice).
• Assessment of all injuries and damages.
• Filing either a medical malpractice or personal injury claim with the intention of collecting against the defendant’s insurance.
• Negotiating with the involved parties for the best possible

Nursing homes and ALFs, especially those that are for-profit, usually want to avoid the negative publicity of a trial. We will do our best to obtain the greatest settlement on your behalf. However, depending upon the unique circumstances of your loved one’s case, our nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers can and will take your case to trial if the defendant refuses to make the appropriate settlement offer.

Warning Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

76 in every 1,000 elder New York residents experience some form of elder abuse. It is often difficult for nursing home abuse victims to tell their stories. They fear recrimination from their abusers, or they are simply unable to effectively communicate about what is happening to them. Our legal team at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. are usually contacted by concerned family members or friends. That is why we want to share these warning signs of abuse and neglect, according to the elder abuse statistics of the National Council on Aging (NCOA):

• Physical and/or sexual abuse leaves victims with unexplained bruises, burns, broken or fractured bones, or bleeding. They may also show fear of a specific caregiver.
• Emotional abuse warning signs include unusual or unexplained depression, withdrawal from normal activities, and a noticeably hostile caregiver relationship.
• Financial abuse includes large cash withdrawals, missing valuables, and unexplained credit card purchases.
• Neglect can be identified from bedsores, unwashed clothes or bedding, weight loss, dehydration, and inadequate medical care.

Please take immediate action if your loved one is in a life-threatening situation. When your family member is safe, call Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. for a free consultation: (516) 932-0400.
