Atlanta Accident Lawyers’ Website Details Signs of Nursing Home Abuse

The Atlanta accident attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are announcing that their website, AtlantaInjuryLawyers.com offers information on the signs which could indicate a nursing home resident is being abused or neglected. Because symptoms of nursing home abuse are not always physical, the Atlanta accident lawyers at the firm hope that family members who made the difficult decision of placing their loved one in a elder care facility are aware of the less obvious indications of nursing home abuse. To learn more about the signs of nursing home abuse, please visit the Atlanta accident lawyers’ website at http://www.atlantainjurylawyers.com/signs-of-nursing-home-abuse--3-2992.html.

Nursing home abuse signs in Atlanta elder care facilities can often go unnoticed, being overlooked as symptoms of dementia or the natural progression of old age. However, there are certain indications which may signal that an elderly resident is being abused or neglected in a nursing home. Commonly, weight loss, bruising, broken bones and bedsores can indicate that a nursing home resident is suffering from physical abuse. Other types of nursing home abuse, however, may present different and less obvious symptoms, such as anxiety and emotional withdrawal. Additionally, financial abuse in an Atlanta nursing home may be signaled by missing cash or credit cards, as well as unexplained spending. 

If you suspect a loved one is being abused or neglected in a nursing home, an Atlanta personal injury lawyer can help explain your options and determine if legal recourse is available. Individuals who wish to receive a free evaluation of their nursing home abuse claim can visit AtlantaInjuryLawyers.com to find out whether they can file a Georgia nursing home abuse lawsuit to seek financial compensation, as well as an end to the abuse. The Atlanta accident lawyers are offering this online consultation at no cost and remain dedicated to protecting the rights of nursing home residents.
