A quick glance at statistics on nursing homes, elder abuse and neglect show an ever- growing problem. Personal injury attorneys who hold liable parties responsible for elder abuse and nursing home neglect are on the front lines, protecting the legal rights and fighting the problems the elderly and their families encounter with nursing homes and home healthcare providers. Having the ABA create a legal guide to address issues on aging is a valuable step for the legal community.
If you have a parent or loved one in a nursing home or other long-term care facility, remain vigilant for signs of elder abuse and neglect. Contact a personal injury attorney experienced in nursing home neglect and elder abuse, when you suspect someone you care about is a victim.
