Fighting nursing home abuse
Elder abuse in nursing homes is simply unacceptable. California’s nursing homes are bound by law to uphold certain minimum living standards and prevent abuse, neglect, isolation, abandonment, and financial exploitation. Those who violate elder abuse laws can face criminal proceedings resulting in prison time and fines, or be held to account in civil court.
Our nursing home abuse lawyers are committed to holding perpetrators of nursing home abuse to account. By taking on the large chains that own many of California’s elder care facilities, Dudensing Law can help disincentivize the pursuit of profit-before-care business practices, improve the living standards of thousands of seniors, and punish those who commit and enable abuse.
Standing up for seniors
We understand how upsetting it is to discover your loved one has been a victim of abuse. If there has been a violation of the law, we will do everything in our power to stand up for you and your family.
You are not alone. Every year, across the country, thousands of vulnerable nursing home residents become victims of negligence and abuse. Those responsible for abusing the voiceless depend on silence to get away with their crimes. Part of our mission at Dudensing Law is to expose the full extent of the elder abuse crisis facing our rapidly aging population. We believe this is an urgent issue that must be addressed. The damning statistics on nationwide elder abuse agree.
