Nursing Home Abuse

Pensacola, Florida Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys

Nursing homes are licensed by the State of Florida and are required to adhere to certain procedures and protocols in the administration of their facility and care of their patients. When patients suffer from neglect or abuse, the nursing home can be held financially accountable. At the law office of Stephen T. Holman, our attorneys investigate instances of nursing home abuse and neglect in order to hold those responsible accountable and recover damages for our clients. We interview attending staff, gather medical records and staffing reports, conduct background checks of employees, and if appropriate notify the Florida Attorney General's office. We document our client's injuries through medical examinations, photographs, and video footage in order to ensure jurors have a clear understanding of the suffering inflicted on our client.

We don't accept excuses when it comes to the well-being of elderly patients in nursing homes. To schedule a free consultation, contact nursing home abuse lawyers at the law office of Stephen T. Holman today.

The Duty of Nursing Homes - Ensuring the Well-Being of Their Patients

Nursing homes have a duty of care, to protect their clients from abuse and neglect. Failure to conduct proper background checks on employees, provide appropriate medical attention, or regularly check the status of patients may be grounds for legal action. At Stephen T. Holman, our attorneys are prepared to track down former employees, evaluate charts and medical records, conduct background checks, and review staffing logs. In doing so, we can often identify conflicting information and testimony that suggests an attempt to cover up negligence and abuse.
