Representing Victims Of Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Elder Neglect And Abuse Is Common In Florida

With its large population of elderly citizens, Florida is a state where elder abuse and neglect is, unfortunately, fairly common. Understaffing, overcrowding, lack of training, inadequate wages and other factors lead to heartbreaking instances of nursing home abuse. Nursing homes are sometimes implicated in two types of abuse cases: outright misconduct and neglect. To schedule a consultation with an experienced Florida nursing home lawyer about possible nursing home abuse, contact Wesley, McGrail & Wesley.

Florida Nursing Home Bill Of Rights Violations?

Nursing home care is governed by statute in Florida. The Nursing Home Bill of Rights spells out clear, reasonable expectations for long-term care facilities throughout the state. Failing to properly care for residents of nursing homes often leads to bedsores, falls and other easily preventable injuries. A nursing home malpractice lawyer can often uncover the cause of a nursing home neglect injury and help victims obtain just compensation.

Is Elder Neglect In Fact Taking Place?

Often there is uncertainty as to whether a nursing home abuse or neglect case is valid.

Our attorneys are willing to investigate allegations of abuse or neglect to determine if a violation has occurred.

We Offer Agreements That Allow Us To Investigate In Depth

We offer agreements by which clients enlist our assistance to simply investigate cases of suspected nursing home neglect or abuse. These preliminary agreements specifically state that clients have retained us to do nothing more than just investigate the facts when neglect or abuse is suspected. Once we order and review records, we inform potential clients of our educated opinion as to whether nursing home abuse or neglect has occurred.
