Nursing Home Abuse Injuries

Baltimore Nursing Home Abuse Injury Lawyer:

We send our loved ones to nursing homes and elder care facilities in order to give them the best care available. We send our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other loved ones to the best facilities available. It’s not that we haven’t researched the facilities – in fact, we spend a great deal of time looking into these facilities, interviewing staff and management, nurses, doctors and our loved one’s new neighbors down the hall. But something is amiss: when we go back to visit, we realize that our loved ones have bedsores, looks gaunt and pale, and worst of all, looks scared. They are even hesitant to talk. Something’s going on. What is actually happening? The answer may not be obvious at first, but we ultimately discover that our loved ones are victims of nursing home abuse and neglect.

Nursing home abuse is a federal crime, 42 CFR 688.301:

  • The willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain or mental anguish is unlawful. This may include numerous areas of abuse:
  • Food deprivation
  • Deprivation or alteration of medication
  • Mental abuse
  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Stealing and/or controlling the personal effects, money, bank accounts and communication of your loved one

If you suspect that your loved one is being mistreated in a nursing home, daycare center or other elder care center, it is up to you to begin an investigation. You are the one with the power to do this. Simultaneously, contact a nursing home abuse attorney to seek compensation in a civil lawsuit. Attorney Dwayne A. Brown is a resourceful elder care advocate who champions the rights of these beloved senior citizens. He is available for a complimentary consultation to discuss your case with you.

Elder Neglect:

Elder neglect often involves the withholding of services and care, whereas abuse implies intentional actions. Elder neglect may involve:

  • Unsanitary conditions – bedding, room conditions
  • Negligence in failing to provide ordinary care, including food, bathing, walks, socializing
  • The unnecessary use of ties, restraints, locked doors
  • Failure to contact doctors and staff for proper medical and personal care
  • Failure to provide proper diet
  • Other claims based on your case

If your loved one is being abused or if you suspect abuse or negligent care, contact Attorney Brown to commence a lawsuit on your behalf. Pursuing a case of this nature is not only the right thing to do for your loved one and yourself, it is the right thing to do to help other voiceless, powerless victims. Attorney Dwayne A. Brown will pursue this action aggressively and with great zeal. He is dedicated to helping you win.
