Failure to Protect Residents' Safety and Privacy
Nursing home regulations provide that nursing homes should have appropriate security measures, such as outdoor and indoor lighting, security systems, locked doors and even security cameras. These measures are meant to protect residents from being victimized. Harm from inadequate security measures can include:
- Robbery
- Burglary
- Rape
- Assault
- Abuse
If you or your loved one was a victim of these crimes because of faulty security at a nursing home or assisted living facility, we can help.
We will investigate the incident and evaluate the security measures that were in use by the nursing home. We encourage clients to contact us soon after a serious incident at a nursing home because we will be able to preserve critical evidence necessary to file suit against the nursing home.
Protecting the Injured and Preventing Future Harm
While holding the nursing home accountable will not ease the pain and anxiety stemming from the incident, it will protect you or your loved one from future harm. Filing suit against the nursing home will likely encourage the home to reconsider its security and take steps to better protect residents in the future.
