Pensacola Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

Our job as personal injury attorneys is to stand up for the rights of people who have been injured by the neglect or misconduct of others and who need a strong, effective voice to speak on their behalf. This role is most relevant than when representing our most vulnerable seniors who have been abused or neglected in a hospital, nursing home, or assisted living facility. Our nursing home abuse lawyers represent nursing home residents and their families throughout Florida and Alabama, helping them obtain compensation for the harm done to them while holding nursing homeowners and staff accountable for their negligent or abusive behavior.

Nursing Home Abuse is a Growing Problem in Florida and Alabama

The elderly population in America is growing rapidly and will continue to do so for decades. As a greater portion of our population ages, and as we continue to live longer lives, the need for long-term care, assisted living, and skilled nursing care facilities will continue to rise. A major concern is whether enough facilities can be adequately staffed with plenty of qualified, trained, and properly supervised caregivers to deliver the quality of attention and care our seniors need.

Unfortunately, nursing home neglect and abuse are on the rise throughout the country. As a popular retirement destination for millions of Americans, Florida, in particular, must address this pressing issue.

Pensacola is fortunate to have several high-quality nursing facilities for the elderly and disabled, as measured by Medicaid on their Nursing Home Compare website. However, we also have our share of average, below average, and much below average facilities, according to the same standards. Regardless of where you or a loved one resides, it is important to remain vigilant for signs of abuse or neglect and to speak up whenever you believe you or a family member are being harmed.

Our lawyers help victims of abuse and neglect who have suffered any of the following injuries, among others:

• Bedsores
• Malnutrition
• Depression
• Dehydration
• Physical abuse
• Emotional or psychological abuse
• Isolation
• Improper medical care
