Los Angeles Nursing Home Lawyer and Orange County Nursing Home Abuse

Maurice Abarr fights for victims of Abuse and Neglect in Nursing Homes in Los Angeles, Laguna Hills, Los Alimitos, Orange County, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Laguna Woods and throughout Southern California.

Each year thousands of senior citizens are abused, neglected and exploited in nursing homes and other elder care facilities. Many victims are frail and vulnerable and cannot help themselves, depending on others to meet their most basic needs. The issue is so widespread that legislatures in all 50 states have passed some form of elder abuse prevention laws. Knowing the warning signs of abuse is a first step toward protecting elderly friends or relatives. Sometimes residents of care facilities may sustain physical injuries from abuse, such as bruising. In other instances, neglect can cause dehydration and malnutrition or infections from untreated bedsores. If you believe someone is being neglected in a care facility, then there is a chance their fellow residents are also under threat from this neglect.

As our population ages, nursing home neglect and abuse is becoming a serious problem in California. As a society, we should not tolerate mistreatment of the elderly in facilities that are designed to care for them. If you or your parent has experienced bed sores, fractures, fall injuries, malnutrition, dehydration, physical or sexual abuse, or neglect in a nursing home facility, call the personal injury lawyers at the San Bernardino law firm of Maurice Abarr. We offer a free initial consultation for all victims for nursing home neglect or abuse.

If we commit to your nursing home neglect case, we will set out to prove it by thorough investigation, use of top-flight experts and extensive depositions. Nursing homes are regulated by federal law to a great extent and by statues regulating Medicare and Medicaid. To be eligible for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, these institutions have to adhere to all federal rules. One of these rules is to be staffed according to regulations. Our nursing home neglect attorneys often find that nursing home abuse or neglect is the result of deliberate understaffing.

We work on all nursing home neglect and abuse cases as a team throughout Riverside County. Although one attorney will have ultimate responsibility for your case, at least one and possibly two other lawyers will be involved in planning or strategy sessions.
