Attorney for Nursing Home Abuse Claims in Yonkers, Manhattan, the Bronx and White Plains, NY
There are various state and federal laws pertaining to nursing home abuse that may prove invaluable in handling any occurrences that arise involving an elderly family member or loved one. In some cases, an abusive caregiver may face criminal charges. In other situations, you may be able to take action in civil court to seek financial compensation for the injuries sustained. This can not only help the abuse from continuing to occur but can help you recover money that will cover medical expenses, future medical care and other damages.
An elderly patient in a nursing home has the right to proper treatment and care, free from abuse.
