The Ohio injury lawyers at Elk & Elk stand against nursing home abuse and neglect

The extent to which dependent adults in assisted living facilities are abused and neglected is largely unknown. The same dependence that forces older adults and those in need of special care and supervision remains one of the largest hurdles in accurately assessing the extent of this egregious injustice. As Ohio injury lawyers, we’ve seen enough elder abuse and neglect, nursing home malpractice and convalescent caregiver negligence to make anyone want to eliminate these egregious injustices.

But it’s only through vigilance, persistence and, sometimes, litigation that this embarrassing social ill will ever be addressed. That’s why if you, a family member, someone you know or the family member of someone you know has been the victim of nursing home abuse, neglect, or any other elder-centric injury, you need to talk to the Ohio medical malpractice lawyers at Elk & Elk.

Elk & Elk’s Ohio medical malpractice lawyers have almost 50 years of experience representing honest, hard-working people who have been injured by the negligence of others. We have the tools and resources necessary to take on big corporations, insurance companies and courtroom-savvy defense attorneys. Our firm staffs its own doctors, nurses, radiologists, accountants, economists, life-care consultants, forensic investigators and experts. And when we take your case, we put all these resources to work without asking for an up-front dime from you.

The obscurity of elder abuse is due in part to the largely off-limits status of nursing facilities and hospice agencies to the media and public at-large. Add this to the number of recent regulatory agency budget cuts and the stress placed on the existing, likely overworked and underpaid, elder-care facility regulators – not to mention the elder-care labor force, itself – and it’s no surprise that many victims of nursing home neglect and elder abuse just fall through the cracks. That’s enough to make anyone who has a loved one in an elder- care facility think twice about his or her comfort and safety.

Elk & Elk’s Ohio medical malpractice lawyers have the experience, the drive, the resources and the confidence to fight tooth-and-nail to make sure you and your family is not taken advantage of.
