Walnut Creek Elder Neglect Lawyer
When elderly or infirm persons require short- or long-term care in a nursing home or home health care environment, it does not mean that they give up their rights. In fact, California has some of the nation's strongest rules protecting the rights of patients and residents of nursing homes. If your loved one has suffered an injury, neglect, or abuse in a nursing home in Walnut Creek or other community in Contra Costa County, family members have the right to pursue full and fair compensation on behalf of the victim.
How Do You Know if You Have a Nursing Home Negligence Case?
Your loved one may not be able to articulate exactly what happened to cause an injury. If you suspect neglect, a mistake or abuse of a psychological or physical nature, don't expect the problem to take care of itself. If the staff or management is abusive to your loved one, it is part of a pattern of negligence that you can help put a stop to.
Elderly and infirm residents in nursing homes or home health care often suffer injuries under the best of care. But if you suspect abuse, talk to an experienced Contra Costa County nursing home injury attorney at the Dolan Law Firm.
