Rhode Island Nursing Home Lawyer

Nursing home abuse is unfortunately one of the least reported crimes. Many nursing homes are grossly understaffed as big corporations cut costs to make a buck. Reduced staffs are being expected to maintain the same workload, which means more of our elderly are being neglected every day. The safety of your loved one should not be put at risk due to corporate greed.

Tapalian Law works on a contingency basis, which means we don’t get paid until you win your case. If you are injured and cannot come to us, we will visit you at your home or in the hospital to offer you a free consultation about your legal rights. The consultation is free, there is no obligation, you don’t pay until you win. This really is a win-win situation, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Contact us today.

This is why Tapalian Law fights for the rights of victims of nursing home abuse or elder neglect. Nursing home abuse can take on many forms, some obvious, others not. Some of the most common forms of nursing home abuse we see include:

• Physical Abuse
• Sexual Abuse
• Improper or Inadequate Hygiene
• Incorrect Medication or Dosage
• Malnutrition
• Wrongful Restraint (to a bed or room)
• Fraud, Extortion or Coercion
• Bed Sores

Nursing homes and care homes are places to receive care, not abuse. Victims of nursing home abuse are entitled to financial compensation from individuals or groups (corporations) that cause them harm. This includes a staff member or relative using scare tactics or intimidation to take advantage of Power of Attorney privilege. We believe victims deserve compensation for what they’ve been put through and we will not back down from a fight.

If you or someone you know is a victim of nursing home abuse, please realize that you are not alone. Current estimates state that over 240,000 cases of nursing home abuse or elder neglect happen each year in the U.S. Many of these situations happen in facilities intended to provide care and medical attention. Anyone in this horrible situation deserves a lawyer they can trust to protect their rights – that’s why we are here.

We explain everything in great detail so that you understand every facet of your case. If your mobility is compromised, we will visit you in your home or hospital. We are committed to our elderly clients, so we will use every aspect of the law to protect their rights.
