The state of Florida is a popular area for retirees and seniors to travel to and reside. In fact, there are hundreds of nursing homes and assisted living facilities that offer care to residents every single day. Unfortunately, sometimes these communities do not properly care for residents and incidents of abuse, neglect, and mistreatment can happen. The perpetrators of abuse may be caregivers, nurses, doctors, co-residents, or other visitors. If you suspect that your relative has been the victim of mistreatment while living at the care facility, we urge you to contact Mickey Keenan, P.A. as soon as possible. Our Largo, FL nursing home abuse lawyer can make sure the perpetrator is held accountable and your loved one is safe from further harm.

When Nursing Home Laws Are Violated

Nursing home residents deserve to be happy, healthy, and free from abuse. There are rules that every facility and their employees and property owner must follow. Anytime a person’s rights have been violated, family members have the right to seek restitution for the harm caused. Please know that we understand the gravity of the situation and the impacts that abuse can have on victims. As our Largo nursing home abuse lawyer explains, the laws that protect those in assisted living facilities include:

  • The right to uncensored and private communication with who they wish, whether that is inside or outside the facility.
  • The right to practice their religion and utilize civil liberties, such as voting.
  • The right to access and approve their treatment plans and doctors.
  • The right to obtain accurate information about their medical condition/health.
  • The right to manage their financial affairs.
  • The right to privacy and a sanitary/clean living environment.
  • The right to have social opportunities and proper physical nutrition.
  • The right to be free from verbal, emotional, or physical abuse, including unreasonable use of restraints and corporal punishment.

What Recoverable Damages Are Available

Those who have suffered by perpetrators of abuse may be owed financial compensation for what they went through. Like other injury claims, the foundation of the case is that there was physical and/or emotional injury that required medical attention. Someone who was injured due to another’s abuse could file a case for economic, non-economic, and punitive damages. Based on the circumstances of the abuse, damages that may be owed to the victim include personal property damage, medical bills, loss of enjoyment for life, diminished quality of life, physical and emotional suffering, newfound disability or disfigurement, and more.
