Gorham & Associates, LLC, Defends Senior Citizens from Abuse and Neglect

Recent scandals plaguing our nation's nursing homes have revealed the shocking truth: some of our vulnerable senior citizens are suffering from abuse and neglect in the very nursing homes they rely upon to care for them. Sometimes the facility's negligence contributes to an injury. Other times caregivers neglect basic hygiene and health requirements. Other times, the employees we trust to take care of us and our loved ones actively abuse them.

If you or someone you love has suffered a personal injury or wrongful death due to nursing home abuse, neglect, or negligence, our law firm wants to help you. Our Birmingham Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers are experienced trial lawyers who will use every means possible, including lawsuits, to protect our senior citizens.

Contact Gorham & Associates, LLC, located in Birmingham, Alabama for assistance with your case. We represent clients throughout the state of Alabama, including Birmingham, Gadsden, Anniston, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Selma, and also in Nashville, Tennessee. We offer a free initial consultation and often take cases on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no legal fees paid to us unless we recover damages on your behalf.

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse, Neglect, and Negligence

We all want to care for our loved ones, but sometimes we don't know what to look for. Here are some of the most common signs and symptoms to be on the lookout for in elderly nursing residents:

  • Bedsores (decubitus ulcers), pressure ulcers
  • Poor Hygiene
  • Malnutrition and dehydration
  • Falls, bruises, infections, and other unexplained injuries
  • Fearfulness and depression
  • Patient-on-patient altercations
  • Unexplained death

If you suspect abuse or neglect, due not hesitate to act. Contact your local police or sheriff's departments, the Alabama Public Health Department at 1-800-356-9596, or the Alabama Department of Senior Services. If you feel you need legal representation, please contact Gorham & Associates today.
