Why Do You Need a Lawyer If You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse?

by Staff Blogger | July 29th, 2019

There are many signs and symptoms of nursing home abuse and neglect. They can range from unexplained bruises and social withdrawal, to weight loss and a sudden worsening of health. If you notice potential signs of abuse or neglect in your loved one, it’s important to contact an experienced California nursing home abuse lawyer right away. At Berg Injury Lawyers, it’s our goal to help abused and neglected victims and their loved ones get the compensation they deserve when nursing homes violate their rights. However, nursing homes are well protected when it comes to compensation claims, and it’s often their word against the people who were harmed. That can make it difficult for residents and their families to defend their rights. Having an experienced lawyer on your side can help level the playing field. Our law firm knows California’s nursing home laws and the rights that all patients have when they live in care facilities. When you contact us, we’ll investigate the facts concerning your loved one’s potential abuse or neglect, and we’ll collect evidence that proves it happened. When a nursing home can’t deny that your loved one was harmed in their care, we’ll negotiate to get your family maximum compensation for what you’ve gone through. Contact us today for a free consultation to find out how we can help you and your loved one.
