ABUSE OF THE ELDERLY AND/OR DISABLED INNURSING HOMES IS A SAD FACT OF LIFE ANDHIRING THE RIGHT LAWYER IS THE BEST WAY

TO GET JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIM.

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT CANCONSTITUTE ABUSE OF THE ELDERLY IN A NURSING HOME,INCLUDING OVER-CAPACITY, INSUFFICIENT MAINTENANCE

OF THE PREMISES, NEGLECT OR MISTREATMENT OF PATIENTS,AND MUCH MORE.

A SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY CAN HELPABUSED NURSING HOME RESIDENTS

TO GET THE COMPENSATION THEY DESERVE.

A RECENT STUDY REVEALED THAT 7.6%-10%OF THE PARTICIPANTS HAD EXPERIENCEDSOME FORM OF ABUSE IN THE LAST YEAR.

AROUND 5.1 MILLION AMERICAN ELDERSOVER 65 HAVE SOME TYPE OF DEMENTIA,

AND SOME OF THEM SUFFER ABUSE INNURSING HOMES ON A REGULAR BASIS.

ONE STUDY BY THE NATIONAL CENTER ON ELDER ABUSEREVEALED THAT ELDERLY MEN AND WOMEN

WHO EXPERIENCE ABUSE OF ANY KIND OR SEVERITY WERE300% MORE AT RISK OF DEATH

THAN THOSE WHO WERE NOT ABUSED.

IN A STUDY INVOLVING 342 ADULT MEN,55% OF THEM HAD EXPERIENCED PHYSICAL ABUSE

BY ANOTHER PERSON AFTERTHEY HAD BECOME DISABLED.

IT IS VERY POSSIBLE FOR ABUSED ELDERLYAND DISABLED PEOPLE AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES

TO GET MONETARY COMPENSATION BYHIRING A COMPETENT AND EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY.
