Nursing Home Abuse Injury Lawyers
When families make the critical and careful decision to place a family member in a nursing home, they exhibit a leap of faith, putting their trust in the caretakers that will be by their loved one’s side. Tragically, of the two million nursing home residents across the United States, a large number suffer unnecessary cruel harm or injury. South Carolina is no exception. That’s why the nursing home abuse injury attorneys at CFJ Injury Lawyers stand firm against nursing home and caretaker abuse, helping uphold the rights of victims and their families.
To better understand, caretaker abuse and nursing home neglect is defined as a caregiver, institution or person in close relation carrying out intentional action to cause harm or create a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable party, whether an elderly person or a child. Different scenarios of abuse and neglect include:
- Emotional and psychological abuse
- Financial exploitation
- Physical abuse
- Neglect
- Failure to meet the basic needs of the vulnerable party
- Failure to protect the vulnerable from unnecessary harm
