Bay Area Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

The elderly should be among the most treasured of our citizens.  Up to forty percent of all adults living in the United States of America will live in a nursing home at some point in their lives. That percentage currently means over three million adults residing in nursing homes currently, with the numbers only rising as the population continues to age. These people have safeguarded our society, caring for us and providing us with the country we live in. They deserve to be honored as well as cared for, and for most seniors that holds true.

However, our treasured elders are also among the most vulnerable members of society. Because of this, they can sometimes fall victim to the abuses of those who would take advantage of them. Studies show that roughly one in six nursing home residents suffer from some form of elder abuse and that victimhood increases the likelihood of the patient dying within three years of experiencing their abuse.

The elderly must be safeguarded against potential predators looking to take advantage of these vulnerable members of society. At The Law Offices of David P. Kashani, APLC, we understand how important it is to protect our elders. If you or someone you love has been the victim of nursing home abuse, contact us to learn your rights and receive advice on ways to pursue legal satisfaction.

Types of Nursing Home Abuse

Because of the intimate contact, a nursing home staff has with their residents, an elderly victim can be subject to a variety of potential forms of abuse. Those forms include:

  • Psychological Abuse – such as shaming or humiliating a defenseless patient
  • Physical Abuse – including striking and pinching as well as improper use of restraints
  • Sexual Abuse – involving improper contact or attention towards those incapable of expressing consent
  • Resident on Resident Abuse – allowing community members to mistreat one another
  • Staff Negligence – failing to tend to the needs of a resident in a timely manner
  • Financial Exploitation – taking advantage of having access to a resident’s financial details

  • “I am very happy with his services. While other attorneys turned me down, Mr. Kashani got me a settlement that was beyond my expectations. He was there for my family and I every step of the way.”

    - B.S.

  • “

    Was relatively new to the area when I unfortunately needed a lawyer for a personal injury case. David was recommended to me by a neighbor who also had a very good experience with him. 

    ”

    - Brittany S.

  • “In need of immediate legal advice, I called David’s office and he was more than helpful. He gave me complimentary advice over the phone, which later resulted in a positive settlement. Highly recommend attorney.”
