Types of Nursing Home Abuse Cases
When you or a loved one enrolls in a nursing home, assisted living, or respite facility, you trust that you’ll receive the utmost care from professional caregivers and doctors. Because you trust your caregiver to handle your day-to-day, recognizing nursing home abuse and neglect can be difficult. We’ve handled many nursing home abuse situations in the Bamberg area, including:
- Bed sores – These are also known as pressure ulcers and result from prolonged pressure, too much laying down/sitting, which causes decreased mobility.
- Malnutrition – The result of an unbalanced diet and lack of liquids.
- Overmedication – Being overly medicated can occur when your caregiver is purposefully given the improper medication or too much medication than required.
- Assisted living abuse – Assisted living abuse cases are a result of general neglect in an assisted living facility.
- Private pay abuse – Occurs when residents cannot defend themselves or are too embarrassed to talk about abuse. Or they are coerced into not talking about their abuse.
I’m a Victim of Nursing Home Abuse, Now What?
If you’ve fallen victim to nursing home abuse of any kind, whether that’s general neglect from malnutrition or you’ve been physically injured, it’s time to call a lawyer and the police. We always recommend filing cases with the head of the facility, and if they do not take action, calling your local Bamberg ombudsman.
In the state of South Carolina, it is illegal to witness nursing home abuse and neglect (as a caregiver) and not report it. If you are the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect in a Bamberg senior home, and you’ve reported it to another caregiver or know a caregiver has witnessed the abuse, not only do you have the right to bring the facility to court, but the caregiver as well.

Client Reviews
Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.
