Accused of mistreating a resident? Protect your good name with help from a nursing home abuse attorney in Huntington Beach CA.
As of 2010, there were 5.8 million Americans over 85. By 2050, this is projected to increase to 19 million. Many of these individuals will need some amount of nursing home care, whether they become a permanent resident or need short term care while recovering from an injury or illness. The nursing home industry is already overburdened and unstaffed, a condition that has led to an “epidemic” of nursing home abuse. More residents will most likely mean even more complaints.
As a nursing home worker, you may face allegations of abuse in your career and some may even proceed to court. For the best possible chance of clearing your good name, exercise your legal right to quality defense counsel by calling a nursing home abuse attorney in Huntington Beach CA like Chambers Law Firm as soon as accusations are made.

Accident or Abuse?
When nursing home residents cannot speak for themselves due to physical or mental problems, there arises a very real possibility for well-meaning family members to suspect abuse where there is none. For example, maybe a resident has a large bruise or a broken bone. Family might suspect a caregiver of causing the injury, but it could in reality have been caused by a fall. By bringing in medical experts to assess the injury and confirm whether it is more consistent with deliberate harm or an accident, a nursing home abuse attorney in Huntington Beach CA can help disprove these kinds of allegations.
