Gilbert Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Moving an elderly loved one into a nursing home or assisted living facility for around-the-clock supervision is one of the hardest decisions any family can make, even if the facility you end up choosing provides the best and most compassionate care possible. That decision can be even harder to grapple with, though, if you find out that your family member has been mistreated in any way by the very people who were supposed to be keeping them healthy and safe.

Abuse and neglect inside nursing homes are shockingly common not just in Arizona, but all over the United States, and it is something that experienced personal injury attorneys know how to address quickly and effectively. With a dedicated Gilbert nursing home abuse lawyer from Phillips Law Group by your side, you will be able to ensure your loved one is safe from any further harm and then demand comprehensive compensation for all the harm they have already suffered.

What to Do About Suspected Nursing Home Mistreatment

One thing worth noting about nursing home abuse and neglect is that while it is never acceptable, it is also not always something that requires formal legal action to resolve. In some situations, it may be possible to get minor problems fixed by speaking directly with nursing home staff members or administrators, who may simply be unaware of an issue with a particular resident’s care or special needs.

There are also various options for reporting nursing home abuse to state government authorities who may be able to help, including the long-term care ombudsman program, the Maricopa County Area Agency on Aging, Adult Protective Services, and the Long-Term Care Licensing Bureau within the Arizona Department of Health Services. A Gilbert nursing home neglect attorney can offer further guidance during a free, no-obligation consultation about what course of action may be appropriate for a particular situation.

Recovering for Damages on a Loved One’s Behalf

Of course, no amount of money can completely erase the physical and psychological trauma that an abused or neglected nursing home resident has experienced. What civil restitution can do in a situation like this, though, is minimize the degree to which this kind of mistreatment negatively affects the lives of that resident and everyone else who loves them, specifically by compensating them for losses they only have to deal with because of that mistreatment.

This can include things like:

• All medical expenses related to injuries or illnesses caused by mistreatment
• Personal property damage/loss
• Lost work income for family members who had to leave work to care for a mistreated loved one
• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional anguish and psychological distress
• Lost overall quality of life

In the event that nursing home abuse in Gilbert directly leads to a resident’s premature death, a seasoned lawyer can help surviving family members demand restitution for things like emotional anguish, lost love and companionship, and lost future value of inheritance through “wrongful death” litigation.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Rich S.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...
