 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With LLN attorneys Harry and Gerardo I never had to worry. I never had to worry about whether LLN is going get me the best settlement possible…or rollover at the first offer. Harry and Gerardo have a simple action plan. Present the case for negotiation. If that’s not respected then go to trial. After I signed up with LLN I was introduced to the entire team on a Zoom call. I was told who was responsible for what. I was told where things happen, when things happen, and how they happen. I downloaded the LLN app, and if I needed to reach anyone I simply messaged them and someone got back to me in a timely manner. I always had the option to call if necessary. What I didn’t have to deal with is a guy on a billboard telling me how cool and tough they are. The same guy that calls right away when the slightest pushback happens telling me I need to settle. LLN are trial attorneys who actually go to trial against the opposition. It seems like most other law firms only go to trial when they’re suing their own law partner. How many billboards have I driven past? How many buses with advertisement on the side? How many TV commercials telling me how “they’re gonna fight for my whatever”. It doesn’t happen… and it’s all smoke and mirrors with a majority of the attorneys out there. I believe the attorneys at LLN didn’t do this just for me. LLN operates the way they do because they have pride in their work and self-respect. They have a reputation to uphold, not only with their clients but also with their colleagues and their peers. How do I know this? Because I saw them interact with mediators and judges. I saw how they were treated by the people making the decisions. They have their respect. It’s critical to note that I had realistic expectations for my settlement. For me it was all about finding the sweet spot. The trade-off between a long trial and a verdict, or taking what quite possibly is just as close an offer and settling much earlier while minimizing risk. Once I made a decision I did not look back. The attorneys at LLN are realistic. They stated ‘this is what we have’ , ‘this is what we don’t have’, and ‘this is what we might be able to achieve’ . I made a decision with as much informed consent as possible. I can live with that.

Los Angeles Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Fighting on behalf of your elderly loved ones.

Many of us will have to entrust the care of our elderly loved ones to a nursing home facility, whether it be because we cannot provide the round-the-clock care they need or lack the necessary skill set needed for their medical condition.

Unfortunately, not all nursing home facilities are staffed with professionals who are dedicated to making your loved one feel at home or keeping them healthy. Nursing home abuse and neglect is an epidemic in this country and affects millions of senior adults. At LNN, our Los Angeles nursing home abuse lawyers are committed to providing the legal assistance you need to obtain compensation and justice on behalf of your elderly loved one through a personal injury suit.

WHAT IS NURSING HOME ABUSE?

Nursing home abuse involves the intentional harm of an elderly resident. The harm that a nursing home resident suffers does not necessarily have to be physical; it can also be sexual, psychological, or financial. For example, if a nursing home staff took advantage of his or her access to a resident’s financial information and used it to pull money from an account, this could also be considered nursing home abuse.

Signs of nursing home abuse include:

Cuts and bruises
Broken bones and minor fractures
Dehydration
Severe mood swings
Isolating and refusing to speak
Weight loss that cannot be explained
Caregivers refuse to leave the resident alone with others

NURSING HOME ABUSE

SEXUAL ABUSE

It is crucial to visit your elderly loved one as frequently as possible to observe any significant changes in his or her behavior and appearance.

Nursing home abuse can also come in the form of neglect. Many nursing homes are not adequately staffed and lack sufficient care for residents. As a result, many elderly patients do not receive enough food, lack proper hygiene, and develop skin infections or bed sores. Additionally, many residents in understaffed nursing homes are often left to fend for themselves and walk around the facility unattended, sometimes leading to fall accidents and serious injuries.

Signs of nursing home neglect include:

Pressure ulcers or bed sores
Dirty clothing and general lack of good hygiene
Injuries caused by falls
Malnutrition and dehydration
Depression
Withdrawn behavior

If you observe any of the aforementioned signs of abuse or neglect in your elderly loved one, ask his or her doctors or nurses about it and seek a skilled Los Angeles attorney for further assistance.

What are the Warning Signs of Nursing Home Abuse?

There are many different potential signs of nursing home abuse. This is due in part to the fact that abuse and neglect come in many different forms. The signs of physical abuse will look different than financial fraud. That said, some of the common signs to look out for include the following:

Bruises or broken bones
Unexplained sexually transmitted diseases
Altered financial documents
Missing money
Agitation or emotional distress
Non-responsive behavior
Fear

If a family notices any of these signs of nursing home abuse, they should contact our attorneys in Los Angeles.

What Constitutes Negligence in a Nursing Home?

Nursing home negligence occurs when a facility, its staff, or management fails to provide the reasonable standard of care expected under the circumstances, leading to harm. Both federal and state laws regulate the care centers and base the cases on the principles of negligence law in the United States.

The injuries are generally not intentional, unlike abuse, but instead arise from carelessness, inaction, understaffing, or poor training. The Centers for Disease Control defines nursing home center and long-term care facility neglect as the failure to meet an older adult’s basic needs, such as food, water, shelter, clothing, hygiene, and essential medical care services.

Common Examples

Medical neglect occurs when doctors, caregivers, or staff fail to administer medications properly or on schedule. It can include ignoring changes in health, such as infections or sudden weight loss, failing to treat or report serious injuries or conditions, or delaying medical attention. Another example is failure to provide necessities, such as food, water, nutrition, toileting, or mobility assistance.

Personal hygiene neglect involves failing to assist residents with bathing, grooming, changing clothes and bedding, and maintaining cleanliness, and can lead to dangerous infections or skin breakdown. Allowing unsafe conditions to occur, such as failing to prevent falls, or inadequate supervision, and improper restraint, falls within failure to ensure safety.

Understaffing or poor training is a substantial issue in nursing home care facilities nationwide, and can lead to severe injuries, illnesses, or death, making it a significant public health concern. During your appointment, our knowledgeable Los Angeles nursing home abuse attorney can review your case and answer specific questions about the regulations, process, and potential recoverable damages.

How Long Does a Nursing Home Lawsuit Take?

The duration of nursing home injury claims varies substantially, depending on the specifics of the case. There are no fixed timelines, but in most cases, the time ranges from several months to several years.

Settlements are the most common outcome and are resolved through negotiation or mediation over a period of 6 months to 2 years. When they go to trial for litigation, they usually take longer, anywhere from two to three years from filing to case resolution. That is due to court backlogs, extensive preparation, and trial scheduling.

Proving Nursing Home Neglect

Establishing liability requires showing that each element of negligence exists, and those include the following:

Duty of care, which means showing that the facility owed a legal duty to the resident who sustained harm, to provide safe and adequate care
Breach of duty is evidence that the center or staff failed to meet the accepted standard of treatment and care, which is what a reasonably prudent nursing home would do in similar circumstances
Causation requires demonstrating that the facility’s violation of legal duty caused, or substantially contributed to, the patient’s injuries
The final core element is to show the court that the resident sustained actual harm, such as physical injuries, worsening health, emotional distress, or financial losses

Failure to provide the standard of expected and professional care can lead to serious outcomes, like falls, broken bones, untreated infections, bedsores, dehydration, and organ damage, or in the worst cases, death. Our skilled nursing home abuse lawyer in Los Angeles can guide you throughout the process, providing advice and support throughout, to fight for the best potential outcome.

Do I Need a Lawyer For a Nursing Home Abuse Case?

Only the victim or their family can make the decision to hire an attorney following an incident of abuse in a nursing home. However, real risks and challenges come with attempting to handle these cases without the support of legal counsel.

One of the major pitfalls that can come with pursuing legal action without an attorney is the statute of limitations. This legal deadline is strictly enforced, and waiting too long to file a lawsuit can mean walking away without any compensation to show for it. An attorney can identify the amount of time a resident has to file their claim.

Attorneys can also handle negotiations. Most of the time, these claims are resolved through an agreement instead of going to trial. Settlements might be common, but they are not easy to come by. An attorney can negotiate with the other side or take the case to trial when needed.

Laws on Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

California has a number of laws on the books related to shielding elders from abuse in nursing facilities. Some of the most common examples include:

Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act

Also known as EADACPA, the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act sets out the definition of abuse under state law. This includes acts of physical abuse, neglect, financial fraud, sexual assault, and abandonment. The law provides the victims of abuse with a path to financial compensation against institutional caregivers like nursing homes.

Criminal Elder Abuse

California Penal Code 368 makes it a crime to abuse or exploit someone over the age of 65. Often, violations of the criminal statute also result in potential claims under EADACPA.

Skilled Nursing Facility Ownership and Management Reform Act

The Skilled Nursing Facility Ownership and Management Reform Act substantially altered requirements for owning, purchasing, or operating a nursing facility in California. It also strengthened the state’s oversight powers.

Reporting Nursing Home Abuse

It is important to report incidents of nursing home abuse, whether or not the resident ultimately decides to pursue legal action or not. This can help prevent an abuser from being in the position to harm someone else.

In California, reporting nursing home abuse starts with calling 911 in case of an emergency. Law enforcement should be notified immediately if there is a threat to their safety.

Outside of immediate emergencies, reporting elder abuse can start with a call to California Adult Protective Services (APS). While APS handles allegations of abuse in private residences and in-patient medical facilities, the California Long-Term Care Ombudsman is charged with cases in nursing homes and other residential facilities. It is also possible to contact the Attorney General’s Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse, as they investigate allegations of abuse that also cross over into the realm of fraud. A family should also contact our Los Angeles lawyers to learn more about their options for a nursing home abuse claim.

What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each.

Notifying Insurance Companies

You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
