Representing Elderly and Disabled Residents
Placing a loved one in a nursing home takes strength and trust. You had the strength and knowledge to understand that you could not care for your family member alone. You placed your trust in the nursing home or adult care facility. Sexual abuse is an extreme violation of this trust.
If your loved one has been sexually or physically abused in a nursing home, the attorneys at Joseph L. White & Associates can help. Our attorneys are dedicated to representing elderly, disabled or infirm victims of sexual abuse.
Call our firm at 502-403-2710 for compassionate legal advice. From our offices in Louisville, Kentucky, we help families rebuild their lives after their loved ones have been victimized or abused.
In one tragic case, a male attendant sexually molested a resident who was in a nursing home because of brain damage from an accident. We helped the young male victim get compensation for his injuries. With this money, his mother was able to put him in a specialized care facility that could help him recover from the abuse and provide him with long-term care.
Helping Clients Victimized by Nursing Home Staff
Many people who work in nursing homes are underpaid, overworked and under-trained. Coupled with the infirmity of the residents — some residents cannot even speak because of a stroke — these conditions are ripe for predators.
Our personal injury lawyers have helped clients who have suffered a wide range of abuses at the hands of nursing home staff and other residents, including:
- Rape and sexual abuse
- Theft
- Overmedicating
- Neglect
- Dehydration or malnutrition
- Bed sores
- Inadequate supervision
Dedicated Legal Representation
Our attorneys are dedicated to helping you pursue a claim against the responsible parties. Often nursing home administration and supervisors are more concerned with their bottom line than the care of their residents. We will hold them to the higher standard of care your loved one deserves.
In many cases, there is a criminal element to the nursing home's actions or neglect. When necessary, we can help you bring in the proper authorities to hold the nursing home and its staff accountable.
