Houston Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys
Elder abuse in Texas nursing homes is a growing problem. Each day, hundreds of members of our elder population in and around Houston, Texas, are victimized. If your loved ones are victims of neglect or abuse in a nursing or residential facility, there are probably other residents in the facility who are also being neglected or abused; in fact, there is probably a continuing pattern of neglect at the facility.
In each nursing home negligence case we handle, the attorneys at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend carefully study the facility's history of violations of both federal and state law to determine if there is a pattern of neglect. We also focus on staffing and training deficiencies, which are often the root cause of nursing home injuries. To learn more about how we can help you or a loved one, call 713-222-7211 (toll free 800-870-9584) or contact us online.
Representing Victims of Elder Abuse and Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing home abuse and neglect takes a variety of forms:
- Negligent care: Failure to provide adequate care, resulting in death, amputations, falls, broken hips and bedsores
- Physical abuse: Inflicting physical pain or injury or unreasonably confining a senior
- Sexual abuse
- Exploitation: Illegally taking, misusing or concealing funds, property or assets
Signs of elder abuse are often subtle. Frequently, seniors who are being abused fail to report it. If a friend or relative has had unexplained injuries, bedsores, a broken hip or frequent falls and you suspect elder abuse or nursing home negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
If the abuse has led to death, a wrongful death lawsuit might be warranted. Elder abuse law is complex and frequently changing. Hiring an experienced nursing home negligence attorney can make all the difference in the world.
