Our Firm Fights the Indignities of Nursing Home Abuse
Arizona law protects the elderly against elder abuse in nursing homes. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to determine whether or not your loved one will be abused, neglected, or injured due to someone else's negligence.
Choosing the right nursing home is difficult. Even highly regarded nursing homes present possibilities of abuse, neglect, and negligence.
Jump Starting an Investigation
At Van Amburg Law Firm in Tucson, Arizona, we help families fight the indignities of nursing home abuse. If you believe your loved one is being abused or neglected, we can help jump start an official investigation. We routinely communicate clients' suspicions to Adult Protective Services — the agency responsible for investigating nursing home abuses and reporting them to the Attorney General.
Bringing in Experts
In Arizona, filing a claim against a nursing home employee can be costly. Before you can proceed with your lawsuit, another medical expert must evaluate the details of your claim. The expert details their findings in an affidavit. The burden of finding and compensating an outside expert usually falls on the family. Our legal team, however, can take on that burden to ensure that your claim is not affected by financial difficulties.
Filing Wrongful Death Claims
Our team, headed by lawyer Noah J. Van Amburg, understands the various and insidious ways nursing home neglect and abuse can lead to death. Oftentimes an injury can cause hardship on an elderly or disabled person. This hardship can create such a terrible burden that they might withdraw from or give up on life.
In these situations, we try to establish a correlation between your loved one's injury and cause of death. The link between the two events could help establish enough cause for you to file a wrongful death claim. While a monetary settlement can not bring back your loved one, it can help ease the financial burdens and help you start your grieving and healing process.
