Suffering Physical Abuse In A Nursing Home.

When an elderly loved one enters a nursing home, you expect that he or she will be treated with dignity and respect by a team of professionals.

Unfortunately, vulnerable populations, such as nursing home residents, are too often victims of physical abuse. The shock that accompanies the discovery that your loved one was physically abused by nursing home employees can be overwhelming. Your trust in that nursing home is shattered and you may not know where to turn.

At Mark L. Karno & Associates, LLC, based in Chicago, our personal injury attorneys will provide practical guidance while compassionately helping you through this difficult and emotional time.

Do You Suspect Your Loved One Is Being Physically Abused By A Nursing Home?

Because you are not with your loved one all the time while he or she is in a nursing home, it may be difficult to determine whether he or she is suffering from nursing home abuse. Common signs of abuse include:

  • Bruises.
  • Abrasions.
  • Burns.
  • Broken bones.
  • Lacerations or open wounds.
  • Withdrawal from activities.
  • Unexplained change in alertness.
  • Unusual mood change.

If you notice your family member displaying any of these warning signs, you and your loved one need immediate help to hold staff members and administrators responsible for their nursing home negligence in the Chicago area.

Proving the abuse can be extremely challenging. Some nursing homes may try to claim that the individual is suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s and unable to clearly state who caused their injuries.

Should this is happening in your case, you need to talk to us as soon as possible. The lawyers at Mark L. Karno & Associates, LLC will explain your options, provide you with detailed legal advice and then develop a strategy to achieve your goals.
