Los Angeles Elder Abuse Lawyer
Attorney for Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
Nursing home abuse and neglect are unfortunately a relatively common occurrence throughout the United States. In fact, it is estimated that one in three nursing homes is affected by some form of elder abuse or neglect. This may include physical abuse as well as sexual abuse, emotional abuse, or even financial abuse. In these cases, the victim and/or family of the victim may be able to take legal action against the caregiver or facility responsible for causing harm.
