Fighting on Behalf of Nursing Home Residents and Families
As a proven, respected personal injury attorney practicing for more than 20 years, I am well equipped to assess many types of negligence and the legal options available to victims and their families. But I am driven by compassion and outrage at times as well. Mistreatment of the elderly and ill in nursing homes and other care facilities is a problem receiving increased attention, and I am intensely determined to make a difference for you if you have a valid claim.
If you have reason to suspect nursing home abuse or negligence is harming a family member—or that it was a primary or contributing factor in a premature and wrongful death—I want to help. Please contact me now to arrange a free, informative consultation to tell your story and begin evaluating any viable legal options for recovering compensation and exposing a nursing home that tolerates abuse or negligent care.
Taking Action for Inadequate Care, Neglect, Abuse or Failure to Supervise
The range of offenses and circumstances that may justify taking action for nursing home abuse or negligence is vast, including:
- Inadequate care resulting in serious conditions such as bedsores, malnutrition or dehydration
- Outright physical or sexual abuse perpetrated on nursing home residents
- Poor supervision that allows a fall or other event resulting in serious physical injury
- Withholding of needed medical treatment or medication
I Will Support You in Your Quest for Answers and Fair Compensation
You may already have approached administrators and liaisons with your concerns, only to be told that all standards of care are upheld at your loved one's nursing home. If your concerns remain, you probably need to involve a lawyer who will take the time to look hard at your case and take all necessary investigative steps—from researching the facility's record to locating and interviewing witnesses and resourcefully building a strong case for legal action.
Feeling helpless in this situation is a terrible state of affairs for anyone. If you suspect nursing home neglect or abuse anywhere in Middle Tennessee, turn to me at the Nashville Law Office of Robert L. Whitaker. I am pleased to offer a free initial consultation and you can trust me to treat you with care and respect as I make every effort to validate your concerns and take effective action on your behalf.
