Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

When Older People Are Mistreated

Every year, families trust nursing homes in Spring Hill, Brooksville, New Port Richey, and Inverness to care for their loved ones. Sadly, many residents experience mistreatment and abuse. The Nursing Home Neglect Attorneys at Whittel & Melton find this unacceptable. Abuse often stems from understaffing or poorly trained staff, but nursing homes are still businesses. Prioritizing profits over residents’ well-being is never acceptable. No facility should allow abuse or neglect to occur.

The Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse Lawyers at Whittel & Melton are dedicated to holding facilities accountable when they fail to provide proper care. We have helped victims of elder neglect and abuse secure fair compensation for various types of mistreatment, including:

• Failure to monitor a resident to prevent falls
• Sex Abuse of Older People
• Physical Abuse or Emotional Abuse
• Bed sores and ulcers caused by failure to care for bedridden residents
• Malnutrition and dehydration
• Complications caused by failure to provide medication or medical care when required
• Negligent medical care, medical malpractice

We Will Go to Trial For You

While we seek a fair settlement in every case we handle, we build every case with an eye toward trial so that when nursing homes, and the insurance companies that represent them, do not make a fair settlement offer, we can fight for you in court. To press our opponents, we build cases with the necessary strength from the very start.

We do not charge our clients until they receive compensation for their injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured or neglected in a nursing home, please contact us for a consultation.
