Recognizing Abuse
Sadly, many victims of nursing home abuse do not report the problem, often out of fear of being punished if they do speak up. In many cases, the families of individuals in nursing homes must look for signs of abuse and report it before the problem can be addressed. Families should look out for the following signs of abuse:
- Cuts, bruises, welts, or other wounds
- Behavioral changes
- Unexplained injuries
- Caretakers cannot explain condition
Individuals who observe these signs in their loved ones should report the potential abuse to a legal authority and remove their loved ones from the nursing homes immediately. After the legal investigation has concluded, the affected individual and his or her family may be entitled to compensation for any losses they have suffered. Our Queens nursing home abuse lawyers work hard to help victims of such abuse seek fair compensation.
