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.
