Nursing Home and Elder Abuse
Florida nursing home abuse lawyers handling cases throughout the State of Florida including Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Monroe, Collier and Lee Counties.
Choosing a nursing home and entrusting that facility and those who work there with the care of your elderly or disabled loved one is a major act of faith. Despite the diligence in selecting such an institution, we understand that you may have been shocked and dismayed at the condition of your family member living at a facility when you last visited. They may have looked neglected and depressed. They may have seemed to have lost their appetite. They may have even had physical bruises on their body.
Negligence and abuse in nursing homes is a significant problem and concern in South Florida. Unfortunately, many nursing homes hire untrained and unskilled staff members to care for the residents.
