Arkansas Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

In situations where you require the services of an Arkansas nursing home abuse attorney, we will talk with you about your situation and discuss your best course of action. Our thorough investigators will examine the nursing home and uncover evidence of nursing home abuse and neglect.

An Arkansas nursing home neglect lawyer will then discuss the findings with the nursing home. If the home does not agree to settle the case on our terms, we will take them to court where a judge or jury will determine the penalty to the nursing home.

Common Physical Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect:

Untreated bedsores
Open wounds, cuts, bruises, or welts

Bruises in a pattern that would suggest restraints
Excessive and sudden weight loss
Fleas, lice, or dirt on resident or in resident’s room
