Legal Options for Sexual Assault in Nursing Homes

If your loved one was sexually assaulted in a nursing home, you have civil remedies, which includes filing a lawsuit for money damages. The other avenue is obviously criminal proceedings that would be dictated by law enforcement and the district attorney. On our end, we can file a civil case against the nursing home for the sexual assault. Unfortunately, we’ve had to deal with these types of cases numerous times in the past. The facilities are required to ensure that there are safe living environments for all their patients and residents. Unfortunately, these types of assaults can happen from staff, from other residents, and even visitors. We’ve seen all those things happen. So, it’s very important for these facilities to make sure they know who’s in the facilities and make sure that all the residents are safe and kept safe. If you suspect that your loved one has suffered from sexual assault, please give us a call and we’ll work to make sure you and your loved one get the justice they deserve.
