Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Neglect ◊ Greenville, South Carolina, Attorney
Nursing homes are entrusted with an almost sacred responsibility: taking care of the most venerable and vulnerable members of society. When they violate that trust, the shock can reverberate across generations. No one should have to spend their final days suffering neglect or abuse in a nursing home. If your loved one suffered harm, you may be able to find a legal remedy.
There are many signs or indications that a loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse, including:
- Bedsores
- Bruises
- Unexplained injuries
- Infections
- Missing/stolen personal items
- Hygiene issues

Helping You Find Justice
Closely related to medical malpractice, nursing home abuse devastates the abused victim and the family. Usually in nursing home abuse litigation, the family is only minimally concerned with recovering a monetary settlement. They are more interested in holding the negligent nursing home accountable for its actions, and doing everything possible to make sure it never happens again.
I can help you find the justice you are looking for, but I can't do it alone. I take a very expert-intensive approach to all litigation. I may work with medical experts, forensic pathologists, psychiatrists and other specialists to help clearly show how your loved one was harmed. The nursing home will hire experts of their own, so it's important that you are prepared to counter them.
In addition, I will work one-on-one with you and your family to learn your story and find out how this incident has affected your life personally. I am proud to say that most of my clients end up being my friends by the time their lawsuit is finished.
