Lawyer for Nursing Home Abuse in Gaithersburg

Seniors who live in nursing homes deserve nothing less than exceptional care and respect. Unfortunately, our vulnerable loved ones may suffer silently in nursing homes, enduring neglect and abuse that can shatter families and erode trust. At Serafini Law, we understand the heartbreak families experience when a loved one has been harmed by nursing home negligence. We are dedicated to seeking justice for those who have been injured due to nursing home abuse or neglect.

The Hidden Crisis in Gaithersburg's Nursing Homes

A disturbing reality lies behind the walls of many of Gaithersburg's long-term care facilities. Nursing home residents may suffer due to improper medical care, endure the painful effects of malnutrition and dehydration, or experience unexplained injuries, and their families may feel helpless to protect them. The trauma inflicted by nursing home abuse extends far beyond the victim, leaving entire families grappling with guilt, anger, and a desperate need for justice.

Negligence in Nursing Homes

Several factors have contributed to the rise of injuries among nursing home residents, including:

• Chronic understaffing in many nursing homes
• Inadequate training and low wages for caregivers
• The prioritization of corporate profits over the well-being of patients
• Lack of proper oversight and accountability measures

Behind these systemic failures lie stories of real suffering—families torn apart by neglect and abuse. While negligence in nursing home care is increasingly common, there is never any excuse for the injuries that residents experience due to abuse or neglect.

Types of Nursing Home Abuse Cases We Handle

We can help families address multiple forms of elder mistreatment, including:

• Physical Abuse and Unexplained Injuries: From rough handling to outright violence, we investigate all forms of physical mistreatment, working to ensure that families are compensated for injuries caused by abuse.
• Emotional and Psychological Abuse: Verbal abuse, isolation, and intimidation can leave deep, invisible scars on seniors. We work to ensure that inappropriate behavior by nursing home staff is addressed correctly.
• Sexual Assault or Abuse: These horrific violations often go unreported due to shame or cognitive impairments like dementia. We fight to protect residents from mistreatment that can affect their physical and emotional health.
• Severe Neglect Leading to Malnutrition or Infections: Failure to provide basic care can result in life-threatening conditions. We can help address negligence that has led to serious health issues.
• Medication Errors: Mismanagement of medications can cause patients to suffer severe harm. We can address procedures followed by nursing homes that led to improper administration of drugs.
• Wrongful Death Due to Negligence: When neglect or abuse has led to a person's death, we will fight for justice and accountability on behalf of a victim's surviving family members.

We understand the emotional toll nursing home abuse and neglect can have on a person and their family. We are here to offer the support and justice you deserve while uncovering the truth.

Seeking Justice and Recovering Compensation for Your Family

While no amount of money can erase the trauma of nursing home abuse, fair compensation can provide:

• Coverage for medical treatment and rehabilitation
• Funds to relocate your loved one to a safe, high-quality facility
• Acknowledgment of the pain and suffering endured
• Financial security for ongoing care needs
• A sense of justice and closure for your family

We recognize that pursuing legal action is about more than just compensation—it is about restoring dignity and preventing future abuse. Our compassionate team will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your voice is heard and your loved one's suffering is addressed correctly.
