Oklahoma Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
According to a report from the Department of Health and Human Services, over 90 percent of nursing homes were cited for federal health and safety violations in 2007. Ninety percent! Unfortunately, statistics for actual instances of abuse can be difficult to come by and are often underestimated. Why? Victims of abuse are often afraid (or unable) to complain or tell loved ones about mistreatment for fear that the situation will only get worse. Nursing homes themselves are reluctant to divulge records. And the symptoms of some forms of abuse may not be readily apparent unless you know what to look for.
The Oklahoma nursing home abuse lawyers at Hasbrook & Hasbrook are committed to protecting seniors from abuse, obtaining just compensation for physical and/or emotional injuries suffered by victims of abuse, and holding those responsible accountable. Nursing homes have a responsibility to ensure a comfortable, safe and healthy environment for all residents. Providing an adequate level of care is not voluntary, it is mandatory, as set forth by federal and state guidelines. In short, nursing home residents have rights!
If you are the victim of nursing home abuse, or think that a senior you care about is being abused, contact our office immediately for assistance. We can work with you to put an end to it and obtain fair compensation for any injuries suffered.
