Nursing Home Abuse

We put our elderly family members in nursing homes so they can be properly treated and cared for. With the rise in California’s elderly population, the number of people being placed in the care of nursing homes continues to increase—and so does the number of cases of nursing home abuse. Many cases of elder care abuse and neglect go unnoticed because nursing home caretakers often cover up these abuses. If your loved one has been a victim of abuse or neglect while in the care of a nursing home, you need the help of a nursing home abuse attorney in San Diego. The personal injury law firm of Estey & Bomberger has represented thousands of personal injury clients, many of whom were nursing home abuse and neglect cases.

Our case evaluation is always free and you never pay unless we win.

According to The National Center On Elder Abuse in the United States, more than 30 percent of all nursing homes in American indulge in some form of resident abuse. More than 50 percent of all nursing homes are under-staffed leading to cases of severe neglect and abuse.

Nursing home abuse can be both physical and mental and caused by:

• Unqualified and poorly trained staff members.
• Inadequate number of caregivers.
• Violent history of caregivers.
• Isolation of nursing home residents.

Nursing home residents have legal rights, including the right to:

• Receive Medicare benefits and the right to not be evicted for the same.
• Select their personal physicians.
• Refuse treatment.
• To be protected from physical and mental abuse.
• Not to be tied down or restrained unless absolutely necessary.
• To see loved ones, friends, physicians, and other important state and federal government representatives.
• Of confidentiality of their medical and personnel records and files.
• To receive a 30 day notice of discharge or transfer and the right to appeal against such decisions.

If your loved one has been denied any of these rights, they are entitled to seek legal recourse. The San Diego nursing home abuse attorneys, Michael Estey and David Bomberger are experienced in handling nursing home abuse cases and have won millions in lawsuits for their personal injury clients, including nursing home abuse cases.
