The decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is difficult enough, when nursing home abuse occurs you need vigorous representation to fight for justice. There are many regulations in place to protect the elderly in nursing homes, in Kentucky and on the national level. Even so, there are gross violations of these regulations every day — affecting the health and dignity of our loved ones during their most vulnerable time.
At Scott T. Roby Law P.S.C. in Louisville, I understand what is at stake, and will fight by your side to ensure those responsible for this abuse are held accountable.
Types Of Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home abuse can involve more than simply physical abuse. You entrust the health of your loved one in the hands of a nursing home, and any time neglect or injury occurs you could be entitled to compensation. I have represented cases involving:
- Bed sores
- Physical or sexual assault
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Physical restraints
- Emotional abuse
- Medication errors
- Burns or electrocution
- Financial exploitation
As soon as you discover that your loved one has any of these injuries or signs of injury, contact an experienced attorney. A personal injury lawyer can thoroughly evaluate your case to determine the extent of injuries and hold the nursing home and its employees accountable for their actions.
When you consult with my firm, you work with an attorney who has access to a wide network of local resources. I was born and raised in Kentucky, and know the law, the legal system and local judges. Because of this, I am often able to find the solutions many families need to move on from this difficult time.
