Have You Noticed These Signs of Physical Abuse?

Nursing home residents are not always capable of remembering or describing what has happened to them. It may be up to you to recognize possible signs of physical abuse. These can include:

• Unexplained bruises
• Broken bones or fractures
• Unexplained cuts
• Abrasions caused by use of tight restraints around the wrists or ankles
• And other unexplained injuries

The nursing staff is required to report all injuries suffered by a nursing home resident to a doctor and note the event in the patient care log. Failure to do so could be an indication that the injury was intentionally inflicted and not simply the result of an accident.

We Will Conduct a Comprehensive Investigation

In representing you, Peter K. Levine and his firm will undertake a complete and comprehensive investigation of the physical abuse suffered by your loved one. This can include aggressive use of depositions of nursing staff and management, a careful review all medical records, and background investigation of the facility.

Peter K. Levine will work to build a strong and persuasive case designed to expose the wrongful behavior of nursing staff and the managerial failings of nursing home management. Our goal is to obtain maximum compensation and justice for the suffering experienced by you and your loved one.
