Tamara A. Walker - Chicago Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer
Nursing home abuse is any type of harm that comes to elderly residents in long-term care facilities, including physical or emotional injuries, sexual assault, financial exploitation, or other types of abuse. Many families have no choice but to put their trust in nursing homes to watch over their loved ones, but unfortunately nursing homes don’t always provide the safe environments that families expect. Nursing home residents have been beaten, sexually assaulted, neglected, or died due to the negligence of staff and/or medical personnel.
With nursing home cases, the patients are often vulnerable and sometimes unable to speak for themselves, that is why they need an aggressive attorney that will fight for their rights. Dealing with abuse or a loved one who has been abused can be emotionally crippling and it’s hard to know where to start. There are important records that must be obtained from the facility so it is important to start right away. If you are a loved one have been the victim of nursing home abuse, contact Attorney Walker at Walker & Associates for an evaluation of your case. All nursing home abuse cases are done on a contingent fee, meaning that we receive a portion of the settlement or judgment.
