Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in West Tampa

Nursing home abuse can manifest in various forms, each more insidious than the last. Here’s what you should know:

•       Physical abuse might show up as unexplained bruises, cuts, or broken bones.
•       Sexual abuse, though less visible, can be detected through sudden behavioral changes or physical signs.
•       Financial abuse often surfaces as missing money or unauthorized transactions.
•       Emotional abuse might be evident if your loved one seems unusually withdrawn or frightened.
•       Neglect, one of the most common forms, can result in poor hygiene, bedsores, or malnutrition.

Do not ignore any of these signs; your loved one might be in danger. Instead, tell us about your case immediately. We might be able to guide you on how best to proceed.

It's not uncommon for nursing homes to try to deflect blame onto the victims. Such cases are quite common in situations where the victim cannot speak for themselves either due to age, disability, or other factors.

The nursing home might claim that your loved one is not telling the truth or is prone to self-harm. This tactic is designed to avoid liability and discredit genuine concerns.

Remember, your loved one is never to blame for the abuse they suffer. Rather, the abuser should bear the blame.

At Morgan and Morgan, we understand these tactics and have the resources to hold these facilities accountable.  Don’t let them get away with their actions.
