Irvine Nursing Home Malpractice Lawyers
When you place a loved one in a nursing home or care facility, you do so with the belief that he or she will be safe from harm and well taken care of. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Nursing home abuse and/or neglect can be a result of poorly qualified and inadequately trained staff, not enough staff members to provide care, staff members with a history of violence, or reluctance of residents to report abuse for fear of recrimination or embarrassment. Elderly people may suffer from Alzheimer's disease or dementia and may not be able to advocate for themselves.
If you are concerned that a loved one is experiencing elder abuse, the attorneys at the Krolikowski Law Firm will work to ensure the immediate safety of your loved one and will seek justice for any harm inflicted upon him or her. We will handle your case with care and compassion, but will be firm with nursing home staff, insurance companies and other legal representatives.

California Nursing Home Injury Attorneys
Elder abuse can come in many forms, including physical harm, verbal abuse or neglect. Neglect can often be identified if the victim has not been moved or assisted in getting out of bed resulting in rashes, bed sores and infections. If the resident doesn't receive assistance getting up, he or she could fall while trying to get up himself of herself, causing injury. Negligence is also qualified as the failure to provide the resident with essential services to health and safety, including food, clothing, supervision and medical care.
