Windsor Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

There are two dedicated nursing homes, or skilled nursing facilities, in the Windsor, Colorado area, while there are many more care facilities in surrounding areas throughout Colorado. These nursing homes are expected to provide a reasonable level of care for vulnerable seniors.

Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect occur even though homes have a legal duty to care for patients.  When this happens, seniors and their loved ones can suffer serious economic and non-financial losses.

We understand the tactics nursing homes use to avoid liability, and we can help you to overcome challenges, build a strong claim, and maximize your chances of getting the compensation you deserve.

What is Nursing Home Abuse in Windsor?

Nursing home abuse occurs in any situation where a resident of a nursing home suffers harm. Some common examples of different types of nursing home abuse include:

• Physical abuse: If staff members hit, kick, push, punch, or use any physical force to harm residents, this is a form of actionable nursing home abuse.
• Neglect: Neglect is a form of abuse that can cause serious harm. Examples include not moving a resident to prevent bedsores or failing to make sure a resident is properly fed and kept hydrated. 
• Financial abuse: Stealing assets, using coercion to convince a senior to give away items of value or change their will, and opening a credit card or taking out a loan in a senior’s name are examples of financial abuse. 
• Emotional abuse: Belittling a senior, calling them names, threatening them, or humiliating a resident can all be examples of emotional abuse. 
• Sexual abuse: Any non-consensual sexual acts with a resident are a form of abuse. 

These and other types of mistreatment can all cause serious harm to vulnerable nursing home residents who deserve to live with dignity. 

How Can a Windsor Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Help You?

If you or someone you love was a victim of abuse in a nursing home, Hadfield Stieben & Doutt, LLC can help you to fight for full and fair compensation. Our wrongful death attorney in Windsor will work with you to:

• Identify defendants: In many cases, the nursing home itself is vicariously liable for the actions of negligent staff members or staff members who engage in purposeful wrongdoing. Nursing homes may also be liable for their own negligent policies if they fail to provide proper training or conduct thorough background checks. 
• Build a strong case: We’ll gather medical records and nursing home records, interview eyewitnesses, help you keep a pain diary, choose appropriate legal arguments, connect with experts to testify on your behalf, and otherwise do what’s necessary to build a strong claim. 
• Negotiate a settlement or go to court: Whether we represent you during settlement negotiations, court proceedings, or both, we’ll do all we can to get you compensated for economic and non-financial loss.
