We Hold Negligent West Virginia Nursing Homes Accountable
Sadly, abusive people tend to exploit those who are least able to defend themselves. According to the American Medical Association, one in four older persons has experienced some form of abuse: Either physical, emotional, sexual, or financial. Many nursing home residents do not complain of abuse because they are ashamed or fearful. In the case of financial abuse, the resident might not even be aware that someone is taking advantage of them. It is often family members who are the first to notice that something is wrong.
Symptoms of abuse may include:
- Changes in behavior — for example, an outgoing person may become withdrawn
- Overmedication of your family member
- Missing items from your family member’s room
- Unexplained charges on credit cards or withdrawals from bank accounts
- Unexplained bruises or injuries
Patients may suffer abuse from other residents or from staff members. If your loved one was abused due to negligent supervision in a nursing home, our award-winning lawyers in West Virginia will seek compensation for damages such as medical bills, and compensation for pain and suffering.
