Nursing Home Abuse

Protecting your loved ones. Holding negligent facilities accountable.

When you place a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility, you expect them to receive the care, dignity, and respect they deserve. Unfortunately, that trust is sometimes broken. Nursing home abuse and neglect are heartbreaking realities that can result in serious harm—or even death—for some of the most vulnerable members of our families.

At Mahdavi Law Firm, we stand up for victims of elder abuse and neglect. We hold negligent facilities, staff, and corporations accountable for the pain they cause, and we fight to secure justice and compensation for victims and their families.

What Is Nursing Home Abuse?

Nursing home abuse includes any form of physical, emotional, sexual, or financial harm inflicted on a resident by caregivers, staff, or administrators. Abuse can be intentional or the result of negligent supervision and understaffing. Common signs of abuse and neglect include:

• Unexplained injuries, bruises, or fractures
• Sudden weight loss or dehydration
• Poor hygiene, bedsores, or untreated medical issues
• Fearfulness around staff or caregivers
• Unusual withdrawals from bank accounts
• Overmedication or improper use of restraints
• Wandering or frequent falls
• Verbal threats, humiliation, or isolation

These red flags should never be ignored. If you suspect abuse, it’s critical to act quickly—to protect your loved one and begin building a case for justice.

Legal Responsibility of Nursing Homes

Nursing homes and long-term care facilities have a legal duty to provide a safe and adequate standard of care. When they fail to uphold this duty—by hiring unqualified staff, failing to supervise caregivers, ignoring complaints, or cutting corners on care—they can be held legally liable for any resulting harm.

Mahdavi Law Firm has experience uncovering facility violations, internal policies, state inspections, and staff records to build strong claims of abuse or neglect. We know the tactics used by corporate-owned homes and their insurers to avoid responsibility—and we don’t let them off the hook.

Types of Cases We Handle

We represent families in a wide range of elder abuse and neglect cases, including:

• Physical abuse by staff or residents
• Sexual abuse in nursing homes
• Failure to provide adequate nutrition or medication
• Bedsores, sepsis, and preventable infections
• Falls caused by lack of supervision
• Wrongful death from neglect or abuse
• Emotional abuse, intimidation, or isolation
• Financial exploitation of elderly residents

Whether the harm is physical, emotional, or financial, we pursue full accountability and meaningful compensation.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If your loved one has been harmed in a nursing home, your family may be entitled to damages for:

• Medical treatment and hospitalization
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Costs of transferring to a safer facility
• Punitive damages for gross negligence or abuse
• Funeral and burial expenses in wrongful death cases
