Continue reading to learn more about some of the more common types of nursing home abuse and how victims can be compensated if they win their cases.

Common Types of Nursing Home Abuse in Salt Lake City

Nursing home facilities and abusers are able to hide the abuse that goes on within their facilities partially because of the fact that there are so many different types of abuse. Family members of nursing home residents don’t know what to look for in order to catch all of the different types of abuse that can occur.

You might have previously thought that physical abuse was the only abuse your family member could endure in a nursing home. But there are actually several other types of nursing home abuse, including the following:

Sexual abuse
Neglect
Emotional abuse
Psychological abuse
Financial abuse

If you suspect that your family member is suffering or has suffered from any of these types of nursing home abuse, call an SLC nursing home abuse attorney to discuss your legal options.

Compensating Salt Lake City Nursing Home Abuse Survivors

Nursing home abuse survivors should be repaid for every way they suffered at the hands of their abusers. This includes emotional distress, pain and suffering, loss of companionship and love, diminished quality of life, stolen money, scarring, disfigurement, and other financial and non-financial losses.

You can also seek compensation for medical expenses and the costs of mental health counseling in your nursing home abuse claim.

Naming all at-fault parties, including the abuser, staff supervisors, and even the nursing home facility itself, can help ensure that you recover maximum compensation for your loved one’s suffering.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
