We Take on Cases Involving All Types of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., our team understands that elder abuse occurs in numerous ways. We handle cases involving all types of nursing home and elder abuse.

Physical Abuse

Physical abuse of a nursing home resident includes hitting, shoving, pinching, slapping, or even involuntary restraint.

Emotional Abuse

Emotional abuse is more difficult to identify than physical abuse because it does not leave any visible marks, but like physical abuse, it can be devastating to the victim and the victim’s family too. It includes threats, harassment, intimidation, insults, and humiliation.

Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse includes any unwanted sexual behavior, sexual behaviors with someone who cannot give their consent, or other sexual interactions between a resident and staff member. Touching the breasts or genitals, unnecessary nudity, exposing genitals, sexual assault, and rape are all examples of sexual abuse. 

Financial Abuse

Financial abuse includes the theft of valuables from the senior’s room, unauthorized use of their credit cards, stolen checks or cash, charging for unnecessary services, charging for services not provided, and other ways of defrauding a resident of their money.

Neglect

Neglect is the most common type of elder abuse and includes failing to provide for the resident’s basic needs, provide personal hygiene, administer medications, and provide the necessary medical care.  If your loved one was the victim of any of these types of abuse in a long-term care facility, the Oceanside nursing home abuse & neglect lawyers from Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will evaluate your family’s case for free. We can even meet with you on Long Island or New York City. Call (516) 932-0400 today.

Damages Available in an Oceanside Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Case

When we pursue damages for our clients and their families, two things could happen:

• An  out-of-court settlement is reached for a fair payout to cover your loved one’s damages
• The case proceeds to a trial where demand is made to a judge and jury for  the compensation your loved one deserves based on their abuse-related expenses and losses

The goal of either of these is to collect a payout that covers your loved one’s damages from the abuse and neglect they experienced. To this end, our attorneys will pursue damages that include:

• Medical treatment and related care costs
• Future medical care costs related to the abuse
• Relocation expenses 
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Diminished life enjoyment

In some cases, seniors in fragile health pass away as a result of the injuries they sustained.
