Beaverton Nursing Home Abuse Attorney
Portland Elder Law Lawyer
The decision to put yourself or a family member into a nursing home or assisted living facility is not an easy one. In fact, it takes a great leap of faith to put that kind of trust in someone else. The sad reality is that a number of nursing homes in Oregon and Washington state are not providing the level of care they are required to by law.
At Weimar Law Offices, we provide compassionate representation and aggressive advocacy to people on both sides of the Columbia River who have been harmed by nursing home abuse or neglect. Allow us to focus on the legal issues so that you can focus on what's really most important — your family.
Don't let not knowing for sure stop you from talking to a Beaverton nursing home abuse lawyer about what you suspect has happened to a loved one. To schedule a free consultation with our attorney, call our offices directly at 503-575-9672 or toll free at 888-546-6231 or send us an e-mail message briefly describing your concerns.
What Are the Signs of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse?
Any unexpected or unexplained injury or death in a nursing home could indicate the presence of abuse or neglect. Our Portland elder law attorney encourages you to be mindful of your loved one's behaviors and physical conditions. Some of the more common injuries associated with nursing home abuse claims include:
- Bed sores (also referred to as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers)
- Broken bones, hip fractures
- Injuries resulting from falls (understaffed facilities, elopement or residents wandering unattended, or residents escaping through an unlocked door)
- Health complications resulting from malnutrition or dehydration
- Injuries and deaths caused by medication errors
Do not wait to contact a lawyer if you suspect any type of abuse or neglect. By taking this action, you enable us to begin an independent investigation that could prevent crucial pieces of evidence from being lost.
