North Carolina Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

Representing Victims of Elder Abuse and Neglect

Learning your loved one has been injured, abused, or neglected in a nursing home is an incredibly difficult and overwhelming experience. If you have recently learned that your loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, an attorney at Lanier Law Group can help. With decades of experience, we have the knowledge, resources, and skills to help clients throughout North Carolina take legal action against the party responsible for said behaviors. Regardless of what your claim may entail, you can trust us to aggressively advocate on behalf of your loved one's right to fair treatment, and seek to hold the person responsible for their actions in a court of law.

Nursing homes and their staff are entrusted to provide our loved ones with respect, care, and proper medical treatment. You can make every effort to choose a nursing home wisely, but sometimes that is not enough. When a nursing home or caretaker betrays this trust, steps can be taken to not only prevent nursing home abuse and neglect from continuing to occur, but also to recover compensation for your loved one's pain and suffering. If you believe your loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, you should speak with a knowledgeable attorney about your legal rights, as well as what can be done to stop the abusive behavior from continuing. An experienced North Carolina nursing home abuse attorney at our firm would be happy to meet with you during a free consultation to discuss your claim and explain your best options under the law. From there, we can help investigate the matter and put you in contact with the appropriate authorities to further address your case.

What Our Team Can Do for You

There may be no other law firm and team of attorneys that better understands the array of emotions that will be felt as you and your loved one attempt to take on the abusers and neglectors of a nursing home facility that is treating its patients inappropriately.

When bed sores, burns, or any other type of unexplained injury is visible on a resident of a nursing home facility near you, there is good reason to suspect that abuse or neglect is occurring and you are entitled to take action.

We are here to help your loved one get the protection he or she needs, while at the same time helping you seek justice and exercise any rights you may have to compensation.
