Santa Monica Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Lawyer for Neglect in a Nursing Home

In living in a nursing home, it is an unfortunate but real possibility that abuse and neglect can occur.  Between 1 and 2 million Americans over the age of 65 have endured some kind of abuse at the hands of someone meant to care for them or protect them.  Negligence or abuse on the part of the staff of such facilities can take place in the form of poor hygienic care for the victim, bruising or abrasions, dehydration, malnutrition, as well as mental and emotional distress.  Such abuse can cause injuries that take years to heal, and some may last the rest of the person's lifetime.  The financial impact can be great as well, as medical costs continue to build for treatment and care of the injury.  If this has happened to you or one that you love, it is important to seek assistance from a Santa Monica personal injury attorney right away.  You may be entitled to compensation for the damages, both physical and emotional, by the individuals or facility responsible.
