Nursing Home Abuse Injuries

Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Dealing with each case on an individual, personal level, the experienced Pennsylvania nursing home abuse attorneys at Atlee Hall, LLP are here to walk you and your family through every step of this difficult process. We will aggressively pursue the responsible party while providing detailed information and tireless support for your family. For over 30 years families have been turning to our compassionate personal injury lawyers to seek both the comfort and compensation they deserve in these cases.

Physical Injuries from Nursing Home Abuse

Spotting indications of physical abuse like bruises and cuts may be simple. However, in many cases, the personal injuries sustained by your loved one may be much more severe. Some examples of these injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Brain injuries
• STDs and other signs of sexual assault
• Internal bleeding

The severity of your loved one’s injuries may depend on the brutality of the responsible party, but all cases of nursing home abuse end tragically. Criminal charges may be brought against the aggressor, providing your family with some degree of cold comfort.  However, gaining compensation for medical costs, suffering, and the cost of moving your loved one to a safer home will require the assistance of an experienced nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer.

Emotional Injuries from Nursing Home Abuse

The long term emotional consequences of abuse are not as easily healed as the physical injuries. After instances of abuse, your loved one may suffer permanently from:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Fear
• Aggression
• Despondence

These injuries may take years of assistance to cure, and the likelihood is that your loved one will suffer from them for the rest of their lives. These issues must be considered in your compensation, and our attorneys will fight aggressively to make sure they are.
