Reno’s Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Nursing home negligence or mistreatment of the elderly by caretakers is a serious and often under-reported issue. Abusive behavior by nursing home staff or caretakers and can lead to high levels of mistrust by the victim and may result in permanent physical or mental damage. Nursing home abuse also includes neglect which can lead to things such as wandering, bed sores, rashes and any number of other equally damaging outcomes.

Negligence doesn’t have to always be physical or leave a visible mark. Verbal abuse or mistreatment by care workers or nursing home staff can have just as large of an effect as physical abuse. The emotional damage caused by verbal abuse can be difficult to quantify, but it is just as serious.

If your loved one has been abused or neglected in a nursing home or by a caretaker, give us a call. We will go over the details and get them the legal help they deserve.

Signs of Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing home negligence by caretakers is a serious and often under-reported issue. Unfortunately, many elderly abuse victims are unable to speak up for themselves. When caretakers are not held responsible, the lack of consequence often leads to systemic negligence.

If you visit a loved one in a nursing home and are concerned about their potential mistreatment, please pay attention to the following signs of abuse:

Changes in personality, such as depression or timidness
Appearance of bruises and abrasions
Onset of weight loss
Poor personal hygiene
Torn or blood-stained clothing

					After my brother was attacked at home by a neighbor’s dog that was off leash, Mr Jensen left no stone unturned to get him the settlement he deserved. My family couldn’t be happier with all that Mr Jensen and his firm did for us. Highly recommend them!!!

					I was involved in an incident with 3 dog’s. I called several Attorneys in Reno to see what my options were only to get blown off by them. I called Galloway and Jensen. I spoke with Casey and she talked with Mr. Jensen we set up a time to meet he went over my options. We talked about a focus group where 8-10 people are hired to listen and go over my case to see their thoughts. “Kinda like a small jury“ He does this so he is not wasting my time and $ but his time and resources as well. I thought that was a very smart approach. I received a call from him personally the other day to give me an update. He and his staff are amazing they have shown me compassion and concern for what I’m going through. If you are in need of an Attorney call and talk to them. He will be upfront and honest with you.
