Nursing Home Neglect

Nursing home neglect can be difficult to prove these days, as visitations are usually only remote to protect residents from Covid-19. Still, it is vital that you are a witness to the neglect. For example, if you notice bed sores on your loved one and you are concerned they are not getting the treatment and attention they require for health and wellness, you should document the neglect as best you can and consult an attorney right away.

Sexual Assault

Sexual assault cases are typically handled as criminal cases; in some instances, they can also be tried as personal injury. Sexual assault is an intentional act, proven by lack of consent from the victim. Someone in a position of trust who the abuser answers to may be liable for not intervening, as may be anyone who knew about it and did nothing.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can occur from many kinds of trauma. The effects of mild brain injury aren’t always apparent at first but can include psychological impairments such as brain fog and personality changes over time. Proper evaluation and assessment are essential to identifying mild brain injury and usually requires a neurologist to diagnose. The right documentation, especially a comparison of behavior and cognitive ability before and after the trauma, can help greatly with your case. Loved ones can be a good source to document these changes that can be tied to the initial event.
