TEXAS NURSING HOME ABUSE LAWYERS 

When a loved one needs 24-hour care, finding suitable housing can be a painstaking process. You should be able to trust nursing home workers to provide the same care and respect as you and your family would, but unfortunately, that’s not always the case.  

Discovering that they are being abused or neglected by nursing home staff may leave you feeling helpless, but we are here to help. 

WHAT SIGNS OF ABUSE SHOULD YOU LOOK OUT FOR? 

There are signs to look for, both physical and emotional, that could indicate your family member is suffering from abuse in a nursing home. 

  • Passive or Active Neglect: Look for signs of malnourishment, chronic physical and/or psychological health problems, dehydration, bed sores, or a lack of personal care. 
  • Physical Abuse: The victim may show signs of physical trauma, restraint trauma, or repeated injuries that are unexplained or inconsistently explained by the nursing home staff. 
  • Psychological Abuse: Notice if your family member shows signs of uncertainty, depression, anxiety, or exhibits behavioral signs such as trembling, cowering, evasiveness, or agitation. 
  • Sexual Abuse: Be aware of any trauma to the genital area, the contraction of venereal disease, or indicators common to sexual abuse. 

HOW CAN YOU STOP THE ABUSE? 

Your loved one may not always inform you about horrible incidents at their nursing home facility. Illness can hinder effective communication, while fear, shame, or even threats from staff members can silence elderly individuals who have suffered abuse. 

If you’re concerned, ask your loved one specific questions about their experiences in the nursing home and watch for any physical signs of abuse. Keep records of potential abuse by taking photographs of injuries or unsuitable living conditions. We recommend writing detailed notes about your loved one’s healthcare routine, medications, and anything unusual you observe in the facility.

NERVOUS ABOUT A LAWSUIT? 

It’s normal to hesitate before contacting a personal injury attorney. Many people fear they’ll end up in court. Plus, the legal process can be intimidating and unfamiliar. 

Before dismissing the idea of seeking legal help, here are a few important things to consider: 

  • Filing a personal injury claim is not the same as filing a lawsuit. A claim is a demand to an insurance company to cover the costs of an injury caused by someone they insure. Claims are made outside of court. 
  • If an insurance company refuses to hold up their end of the bargain and pay full value for a covered injury, the next step is usually a lawsuit. A lawsuit is a claim or dispute brought to a court of law for judgment. However, a skilled lawyer will shift the risk to the insurance company, increasing the chances of a pre-trial settlement. At Daniel Stark, over 98% percent of our cases settle before trial. 
  • If your case goes to trial, Daniel Stark will handle every aspect of the legal process. Rest assured, our legal team will take care of the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
