Accused of mistreating a resident? Protect your good name with help from a nursing home abuse attorney in Newport Beach CA.
With the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, for the first time in our country’s history individuals 65 and over have topped 13 percent of the population. 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. You will have the best possible chance of keeping unfounded allegations from ruining your reputation and destroying your livelihood if you get expert representation from Chambers Law Firm, an experienced nursing home abuse attorney in Newport Beach CA.

Accident or Abuse?
Unfortunately, false nursing home abuse charges are sometimes raised after accidents because residents have physical or mental issues that prevent them from telling their side of the story, and well-meaning family members assume the worst. For instance, let’s say a nursing home resident breaks their arm. Such an injury doesn’t necessarily indicate abuse, no matter what concerned family members may believe. Your nursing home abuse attorney in Newport Beach CA can help clear up the situation using the testimony of expert witnesses who can examine the evidence relating to the injury and say whether it is more likely to have been caused by an accident or abuse.
