Nursing Home Abuse & Injury Attorneys | Free Consultations

The elderly are perhaps the most vulnerable demographic in our society. They are frequently the target of financial scams and identity theft. And even when placed in a nursing home, they are not always kept safe — as we expect they should be.

If you suspect that a loved one is experiencing abuse or neglect at a nursing home or retirement home, talk to an experienced attorney who is familiar with these types of cases. At Wagner & Reese, we represent clients in Indianapolis and throughout Indiana who have experienced nursing home injuries of all types. Contact our law office and speak to an attorney that has experience in nursing home abuse and nursing home negligence. We understand how nursing homes and their staff try to cover up the facts. Our nursing home injury attorneys want to hear your story and offer a free consultation to help you understand your legal options.

Is Your Loved One Safe?

We expect our parents, relatives, and elderly friends to be kept safe in nursing homes. But all too often, nursing homes and other long term care facilities fail to provide an acceptable standard of care, and elderly patients pay the price.

The signs of nursing home abuse or neglect may be difficult to see — especially if the victim is unable to communicate clearly. But if you have noticed signs of abuse, it may be time to contact an elder abuse attorney who can help you investigate and understand what is happening to your loved one.

Signs and symptoms may include:

Bruising
Cuts
Bed sores
Dehydration
Malnutrition
Confusion
Fall injuries
Broken bones
Change in behavior

Abuse may be physical or emotional. If a nursing home employee is verbally abusing your family member, you have legal options. The most important thing is to protect the safety of your loved one, which we can help you do. Then, we will explore options to hold the nursing or retirement home accountable for its actions − or inaction − to stop the abuse.
