A serious injury to a vulnerable senior caused by neglect, abuse or medical negligence at a nursing home or assisted living center calls for quality, aggressive representation of your elderly loved one's rights by a skilled personal injury attorney.

 

At The Law Offices of Mitchell S. Shea P.A., we aggressively protect the rights of abused and neglected nursing home residents, and strive for the full financial compensation that your South Florida family deserves.

 

Families of the institutionalized elderly depend upon nursing homes to care for our loved ones in a humane, professional manner. Unfortunately, in Florida there have been instances where some nursing homes have not provided the best possible care — and have even caused injury.

 

The Law Offices of Mitchell S. Shea P.A. investigate and expose factors that contribute to the abuse or neglect of residents, such as poorly qualified and inadequately trained staff, staff members with a history of violence, the isolation of residents and the reluctance of residents to report abuse out of embarrassment or fear.

 

If your loved one has suffered a serious personal injury or significant, noticeable decline in his or her condition, and you believe that it is due to neglect or abuse by nursing home personnel, that facility may be held liable.

Shea P.A. in a free initial consultation, please call toll free from wherever you are in South Florida: (954) 491-0046. We welcome and respond promptly to your email message.
