Sacramento Elder Abuse Attorneys

Resident-on-Resident Abuse Attorney in Sacramento

Looking for a Sacramento elder abuse attorney?

In most elder abuse and nursing home abuse situations, the abuser is a nurse or other member of the staff. Many elderly care facilities are understaffed, resulting in stress on the part of the workers that could result in abuse. Nevertheless, it is inexcusable. Even family members can abuse or neglect an elderly person living in their home.

What many people may not realize, however, is that other residents in a nursing home or care facility can also be abusive. Resident-on-resident abuse can be difficult to uncover, but with help from our Sacramento elder abuse attorneys, you could fight for proper compensation.

Don't allow your loved one to suffer from such mistreatment. Contact a Sacramento elder abuse attorney right away if you suspect they are a victim.

Causes of Resident-on-Resident Abuse

  • Many patients may be suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's, or some other form of cognitive loss that may affect their emotions and behaviors, resulting in violence and physical abuse.
  • Other times they may use threats and demeaning words to inflict emotional abuse on your loved one.
  • Sexual abuse could also be inflicted by another resident.
  • On many occasions, the abuse may simply be out of anger or hate.

    After a critical two months where our client was not bathed and multiple changes of condition went uncommunicated, unreported, and uncared for, she was ambulanced out to an Emergency Room, where her doctors and family were shocked to find that she had a stage IV sacral decubitus ulcer.

  • $1,300,000 Neglect Case

    The client in this case is an adult who is developmentally disabled, bedridden, and unable to speak or move independently.

As a result, the client suffered a Stage IV wound.

  • $1,000,000 Nursing Home Abuse Case

    Unbeknownst to prospective residents and their families, this defendant RCFE chain was willing to systematically violate laws and its own policies designed to protect vulnerable elders. Willing to admit scores of profitable, high need residents (such as our client), and leave them at the mercy of a few unqualified, untrained and overburdened caregivers.

  • $875,000 Abandonment Case

    Through exhaustive investigation, we found that our client’s death was not the result of a few isolated mistakes by care-givers. Rather, it was the result of this corporate facility’s policies prioritizing occupancy and revenue, while ignoring staff training, staff supervision, and the quality of care being delivered.

  • $775,000 Resident-On-Resident Abuse Case

    While eating dinner at a Skilled Nursing Facility, our client was confronted by another resident who punched him, resulting in our client’s tragic death.

  • $750,000 Lack of Proper Care Case

    During our client’s roughly ten-week stay at a skilled nursing facility, he would suffer 8 falls, lose twenty (20) pounds, and develop an unstageable left heel pressure ulcer and a stage II coccyx pressure ulcer due to the facility’s reckless neglect. He was transferred to the hospital, where he was found severely dehydrated, his left heel wound required debridement for eschar and gangrene, and for the first time, a stage II coccyx ulcer was identified.

  • $678,000 Financial Abuse Case

    Our 84-year-old client was the victim of financial elder abuse related to a number of transactions, including the purchase of a home.
