Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing Home Abuse Claims
Nursing home abuse occurs when elderly residents experience physical, emotional, financial, or neglectful mistreatment in a care facility. Families trust these facilities to provide compassionate and professional care, but unfortunately, some nursing homes fail to meet this responsibility. If your loved one has suffered due to nursing home abuse, you may have legal options to hold the facility accountable and seek compensation for the harm caused.
At Dominguez Law Firm, we fight for the rights of nursing home residents and their families. We understand how devastating it can be to discover that a loved one has been mistreated, and we are here to help you pursue justice.
