Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Bradenton

When it comes to nursing home abuse, it can take different forms. Here are the most common: 

• Physical abuse involves any intentional use of force that causes harm or pain, such as hitting, shoving, or improper use of restraints.
• Sexual abuse, on the other hand, includes any non-consensual sexual contact or behavior. 
• Financial abuse occurs when someone unlawfully or improperly uses a resident's money, property, or assets.
• Emotional abuse is often the most overlooked type of nursing home abuse and involves verbal assaults, threats, humiliation, and isolation, causing psychological trauma.
• Neglect occurs when a resident's basic needs—such as food, medical care, or hygiene—are not met.

If your loved one has experienced any of these forms of abuse, or anything along these lines, then you may have a valid case against those responsible.

Also, hiring an attorney from a powerful injury firm means they’ll have access to the legal resources they need to fight for you. As a result, they won’t be tempted to settle for less just to close the case and cut costs.

Understandably, you might worry about possible retaliation if you report nursing home abuse. However, you can rest easy knowing that retaliation is illegal. In Florida and throughout the United States, nursing homes are prohibited by law from punishing residents for reporting abuse. If any form of retaliation occurs, it can lead to severe legal consequences for the facility.
