We Fight for Nursing Home Abuse Victims in the Bronx

Nursing home residents are vulnerable to all types of abuse, whether it be physical trauma or neglect. While many long-term care facilities provide safe and comfortable environments, others do not. And when this occurs, an experienced nursing home abuse lawyer needs to take legal action.

The New York Department of Health provides a list of rights that all nursing home residents have, and the responsibilities nursing home facilities must implement. They include:

  • Providing a comfortable living environment
  • Safeguarding a resident’s property and money
  • Implementing complaint procedures
  • Allowing residents to choose their schedule and participate in activities that interest them
  • Giving residents the freedom to make independent decisions
  • Providing quality care without discrimination
  • Allowing visitors
  • Informing residents of all services and fees before joining the home
  • Keeping residents free from restraints
  • Allowing residents to exercise their rights without fear of retaliation
  • Preventing all forms of financial, verbal, sexual, mental, and physical abuse

If a nursing home or its staff fails to uphold its duty of care, our team will hold them liable. Our Bronx nursing home abuse lawyers determine if their negligence resulted in preventable injuries and make sure you receive a fair settlement for the damages that result.

Your Rights as a New York Nursing Home Resident

Nursing homes must have protocols in place to ensure that sufficient medical care is available to prevent harm. The more vulnerable the resident, the more protections they should receive to deter abuse or neglect.

When a facility does not respect resident rights and injuries occur, it creates the grounds for a nursing home abuse claim. Examples include failing to:

  • Prevent bedsores or pressure ulcers
  • Provide adequate living assistance (such as cleaning bedsheets and doing laundry)
  • Properly supervise residents
  • Provide healthy and appropriate nutrition
  • Supply correct medication to residents
  • Clean spills or remove tripping hazards

If you suspect that a fall or other injury has occurred, you have the right to take legal action against the nursing facility or its staff. Our team of nursing home attorneys will gather evidence to support your claim and hold liable parties accountable for their negligent or abusive behaviors.

Common Types of Nursing Home Abuse Claims We Pursue

Our decades of serving the Bronx have given our legal team valuable experience representing various nursing home abuse clients. We have successfully recovered settlements for sexual, physical, emotional, and financial abuse claims, and we are prepared to do the same for you or your loved one.

Sexual Abuse

Nursing home sexual abuse can come from employees, third-party workers (such as maintenance crew members), or another resident. It includes:

  • Sexual harassment
  • Unwanted sexual attention
  • Forced sexual activity with someone is unable to give legal consent

For example, a resident with advanced Alzheimer’s disease might lack the ability to provide sexual consent. If the nursing home is aware of this but does nothing to stop the sexual abuse, they can be held liable.

Financial Abuse

Financial abuse is the most prevalent form of elder abuse. CNBC reports that older Americans lose over $3 billion a year in financial exploitation.

Examples of financial abuse that takes place in nursing homes include:

  • Theft of cash, checkbooks, credit cards, or personal belongings from a resident’s room
  • Misuse of resident money
  • Tricking residents into giving away money (usually for illegitimate charities)
  • Identify theft
  • Threatening residents into transferring money

It can be challenging to get money or assets back from a thief. But when you hire our law firm, our Bronx nursing home abuse lawyers do everything they can to hold the financial abuser accountable.

Emotional Abuse

Emotional abuse is any action that causes psychological or mental harm to another person. In a nursing home, emotional abusers will make residents feel:

  • Unsafe
  • Humiliated
  • Isolated
  • Controlled

Proving emotional abuse can be difficult, but our attorneys know the common signs to look for. We analyze the situation and use witness statements to demonstrate how an abuser inflicted emotional trauma.

Physical Abuse

Any intentional act that causes physical harm is abuse. The conduct does not have to leave a mark to constitute abuse.

Examples of physical nursing home abuse include:

  • Misuse of restraints: Restraining residents for disciplinary purposes.
  • Active abuse: Physically pushing, slapping, punching, kicking, or causing intentional harm to a nursing home resident.
  • Physical neglect: Not providing the necessary food, clothing, or sanitary environment a resident needs to survive.

Unexplained injuries like scars, bruises, fractures, and bedsores are signs your loved one may be suffering from physical abuse. If you are concerned, our elder abuse lawyers will take action.
