Indiana Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers

Nursing home neglect is a growing problem

The last thing you want to worry about when you make the difficult decision to entrust your parent or older relative to care in a nursing home is that your relative will not be taken care of properly.  The frail and weak elderly are at particular disadvantage in defending themselves or asserting their rights. The elderly are completely under the control of the nursing home. 

Unfortunately, the number of neglect and abuse reports in nursing homes has grown significantly, and with the aging of the boomer population there is a likelihood of incidents of bad care growing at an even faster rate, unless people complain and put a stop to the heinous treatment of the elderly who are too weak to complain and even if they do complain, their complaints go unneeded.  

Indianapolis nursing home neglect lawyers Craven, Hoover & Blazek, P.C. can help put a stop to the bad treatment of your relative, including having the patient moved to a different facility, and we can bring a suit to obtain compensation for your relative.  The lawyers at the firm are skilled in this rapidly evolving area of the law.

There are many types of heinous acts of elder abuse and neglect, including:

  • Poor care
  • Moving injuries
  • Severe dehydration and malnutrition
  • Bed sores
  • Fractures
  • Physical assault
  • Sexual assault
  • Medication errors
  • Unexplained injuries and bruises
