Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Stamford, Connecticut Elder Abuse Lawyers
Bed Sores • Falls • Malnutrition and Dehydration • Abuse

After a lifetime of providing for others, the last stage of our life should be one of caring and dignity. Unfortunately, some seniors are subjected to neglect, disrespect and abuse.

At the law office of Silver Golub & Teitell, LLP, we seek justice and compensation for elderly victims of nursing home neglect and abuse. Where some lawyers avoid cases involving elders, we feel strongly that these are among the most important cases we can take. By holding the nursing home accountable for the care it provides and the employees it hires, a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit can save lives.

If someone you love suffered injuries, a worsening medical condition, or premature death because of mistreatment or neglect in a nursing home, contact our Stamford personal injury law office. We represent injured seniors and grieving families throughout Connecticut in negligence and abuse cases.

Our Approach to Birth Injury Cases

At Silver Golub & Teitell we are highly selective about the cases we take. By accepting fewer cases, we are able to commit the full financial, legal and emotional resources of our firm to each of our clients in order to get them the results they need.

Witnesses provide some of the most important evidence presented in a personal injury suit, but the use of witnesses in nursing home neglect cases can be problematic. Often the abused elder cannot provide testimony and other elderly witnesses may be similarly disabled. Our years of trial experience, use of sophisticated trial techniques, and access to independent experts are invaluable assets in proving nursing home neglect or abuse.

If You Suspect Abuse or Neglect

It can be hard for inexperienced family members to know when nursing home neglect or abuse may be occurring. These are some of the more common problems that could cause you to investigate further and to contact an attorney:

• Inadequate nutrition or hydration
• Inadequate skin maintenance resulting in bedsores, ulcers or even sepsis
• Falls in a hallway or falling out of bed may be signs of inadequate supervision
• Medication errors or failure to provide prompt medical care resulting in illness, a worsened medical condition, or even death
• Sexual assault with physical injuries and mental anguish
• Bruising, broken bones and emotional trauma caused by physical abuse
• Inadequate fire protection causing the death of nursing home residents
