What Families Should Know About Caregiver Neglect Cases

Find answers to common questions about elder neglect, the legal options available, and how an attorney can help protect vulnerable loved ones.

What Steps Should I Take if I Suspect My Loved One is Being Neglected By a Caregiver?

Document any signs of mistreatment that you can, including bedsores, dehydration, bruises, changes in mood or behavior, etc. If possible, report your concerns to Adult Protective Services. Then call us. Our attorneys have in-depth experience with caregiver law and will fight for the justice and compensation your loved one deserves.

What are the Legal Rights of an Elderly Person Experiencing Neglect in a Nursing Home?

Great question. Nursing home residents have fundamental rights that protect them from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and more. These include the right to be free from any sort of physical, mental, and verbal abuse as well as the right to receive proper medical care. It also includes the right to live in a safe, clean environment. If you think any of these rights are being violated, call our legal team right away. We’ll investigate your claim and hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.

Who is Liable When an In-Home Caregiver Causes Physical or Emotional Harm?

It depends on the details of your claim and who the caregiver works for. Liability may fall on the caregiver or their employer. It can also fall on the agency that placed them in your home. They have a duty to train, screen, and supervise their caregivers. If they don’t do any of those things properly and your loved one is injured, we will fight to hold them legally responsible.

What are the Most Common Warning Signs of Caregiver Neglect or Abuse?

Warning signs can include unexplained injuries, poor hygiene, malnutrition, sudden changes in mood or behavior, the caregiver’s refusal to allow you to visit or speak with your loved one alone, and more. If you notice any of these things happening, please call Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys immediately. We will help file a claim and get justice for your family.

Can I Sue a Private Caregiver Who Failed to Provide Medication or Food?

It depends on the details of your claim, but yes, you may be able to sue a private caregiver who didn’t provide proper care. Neglecting basic needs can have serious, even life-threatening consequences, and our attorneys will hold them financially responsible for any harm they cause.

How Do I Document Evidence of Ongoing Neglect by a Healthcare Provider?

We’re glad you asked. Keep detailed records of your loved one’s condition and any medical treatment they’ve received. You can also jot down any interactions with the caregiver and take photos of any injuries or unsanitary conditions. If you’re able to, have witnesses write written statements. All of this helps build a strong case. Don’t worry if you don’t have evidence, though. Our attorneys are here to help gather any information needed.

What Kind of Compensation Can Families Receive in Caregiver Negligence Cases?

Depending on the details of your claim, you may be able to recover damages for things like medical bills and pain and suffering, or even wrongful death. Compensation will vary based on the severity of the harm caused and the impact on you and your loved one. Our attorneys will do everything they can to help you get the full and fair compensation you’re owed.

Are There Time Limits for Filing a Caregiver Neglect Lawsuit in My State?

Yes. There are usually deadlines (also known as statutes of limitations) to file a claim. These time limits vary depending on your state’s laws, so the sooner you call us, the better. We’ll make sure everything is filed on time and appropriately, so you and your loved one don’t miss out on the compensation you deserve.
