Identifying the Warning Signs of Elder Abuse and Neglect in Florida

Nursing home abuse can take many forms, including physical violence, emotional manipulation, sexual misconduct, financial exploitation, and neglect. Victims may show signs such as unexplained injuries, fearfulness, sudden withdrawal, poor hygiene, untreated medical conditions, or missing belongings. These indicators often go unnoticed or unreported, making it even more important to take swift legal action if you have concerns.

Florida Nursing Home Laws: Legal Protections for the Elderly

Florida law provides protections for nursing home residents, and our attorneys have the experience and determination to enforce them. At Tarrash & Tarrash Law, we begin by conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the abuse. We gather key evidence including medical records, staff reports, and witness statements. Our team works directly with experts and, when needed, aggressively negotiates with the facility or their insurance representatives. If a settlement isn’t possible, we are fully prepared to take the case to trial.

Compensation for Nursing Home Abuse Victims in Broward County

Victims of nursing home abuse may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment related to the injuries, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of quality of life. In tragic cases where abuse leads to death, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim to cover funeral costs, loss of companionship, and other damages. Our goal is to ensure your loved one receives justice and that no other resident suffers in the same way.
