Bay Area Lawyers Protecting Nursing Home Abuse Victims
Like any health care facilities, nursing homes must provide residents with a certain level of medical care. In many instances, the maltreatment of nursing home residents rises to the level of elder abuse and entitles the resident or his or her family to additional damages not available in the typical malpractice case. If you or someone you love has suffered serious injuries as a result of maltreatment in a nursing home, you may have a claim for malpractice or elder abuse.
Attorneys Cliff Weingus and Jeffrey A. Haas work to protect the rights of nursing home abuse and malpractice victims. From bed sores, to dehydration or neglect, we can help you obtain and fair compensation for the abuse you or your loved one has sustained. While most common in nursing homes, elder abuse can also occur in other facilities, such as "board and care" homes and even hospitals.

We represent elderly clients throughout California with claims against nursing homes and hospitals and other facilities. From malnutrition and dehydration as the result of neglect to severe wounds from assault, unreasonable physical restraint, isolation, or sexual abuse, we believe it is important to stand up for individuals who cannot stand up for themselves.
If we accept your case, we will work with experts and conduct a thorough investigation into your claim. Evaluating all your options, we will make sure you do everything possible to maximize your claim.
One of the most difficult parts about elder abuse and malpractice is that the elderly often fail or refuse to report any wrongdoing. It can be difficult for family members to recognize signs of abuse, but if you believe that some wrongdoing has taken place, you want to take action before things have the chance to get worse. We handle nursing home abuse and malpractice cases involving the following:
- Bed sores
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Slip and falls
- Medication errors
- Neglect
- And more
In addition to general medical malpractice cases, such as the failure to diagnose and physical abuse, the elderly are susceptible to deliberate financial abuse as well. Attorneys Cliff Weingus and Jeffrey A. Haas also handle these complex cases.
