Indiana Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

Nursing homes exist to provide round-the-clock care and a safe environment for people who are unable to care for themselves at home. Sadly, many nursing home residents are abused or neglected by the very people who we trust to care for them.

• Failure to protect from health and safety hazards
• Poor access to medical services
• Assault and Battery
• Sexual Assault
• Unreasonable physical restraint
• Giving too much or not enough medication
• Slapping, pushing, shaking, beating

In Indiana, if you suspect nursing home abuse or neglect, a panel of three doctors will review your case to determine if abuse or neglect took place. We will provide effective representation throughout the process to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
