Nursing Home Abuse
The nursing home abuse attorneys at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. have the experience necessary to stand up for the rights of the elderly. Every year more than a million nursing home residents suffer either neglect or active abuse. A nursing home abuse attorney can help when a nursing home subjects you or your family member to malnutrition, dehydration, bed sores, over-sedation, gangrene, abandonment, theft, sexual assault, coercion, mental abuse, or the like.
Congress has established minimum requirements for nursing homes that want to provide services under Medicare and Medicaid. A nursing home abuse attorney is familiar with nursing home requirements laid out in the Social Security Act and understands that these requirements merely act as a baseline for the treatment of the elderly. Nursing home abuse attorneys are vital to ensure fair treatment for our growing elderly population.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death because of negligent care in a residential facility, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
