When you visit a loved one in a nursing home, you should never have to worry about whether he or she is being taken care of properly. However, if you see any signs of potential abuse or neglect, it is important that you take action right away. Your decision to demand answers may not only protect your loved one from future harm, it may prevent other nursing home residents from being hurt as well.
In cases of nursing home abuse or neglect, victims suffer more than physical injuries and mental damage. They also experience a violation of their rights and dignity. At Mickle & Bass, our experienced South Carolina nursing home abuse lawyers will fight for the rights of vulnerable victims and secure for them the compensation they deserve.
If you are concerned that a family member is being neglected or abused in a nursing home, schedule a free consultation with our team today. Our compassionate personal injury attorneys understand how distressing this situation can be, and we will work quickly to help you protect your loved one.
There are specific federal and state guidelines regulating how nursing home abuse and neglect allegations are investigated. However, holding a facility and its staff accountable will require an experienced S.C. personal injury lawyer who has extensive knowledge of these regulations and the nursing home industry.
At Mickle & Bass, our dedicated team of nursing home abuse attorneys will demand justice for your loved ones and fight for the compensation they deserve. When you enlist the help of our devoted legal team, you can expect that:
This includes photos of your loved one’s injuries, as well as dangerous or unsanitary conditions at the facility. We will also talk to witnesses and go through your loved one’s financial records to identify any irregularities.
This will involve piecing together dates and times of any incidents, as well as details of what happened and who was there.
Even if you have already reported a problem, we will contact the facility management to make it clear that we are working on your claim.
It is important that an official complaint be filed with the state so authorities can investigate the allegations. Although we will be conducting our own investigation, our team will stay in contact with the Nursing Home Division to track developments in its investigation.
We will also investigate whether the facility is properly staffed, whether the personnel are properly trained, and whether proper background screenings have been done on those working at the facility.
In addition to the expenses related to treatment for physical injuries and emotional trauma, you may be facing the costs of moving your loved one to a new facility. Then there are the seemingly immeasurable damages caused by your family member’s pain and suffering. Our team will thoroughly evaluate all the damages and aggressively pursue maximum compensation for your loved one.
Many nursing home abuse cases end in a full and fair settlement. However, when the at-fault party refuses to offer a satisfactory settlement, our litigators will not hesitate to take your case to court.
Contact us now to schedule a free consultation, and let us review your case and outline all your legal options.

As a family member, you have the right to report suspicions and demand answers if you suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected in a nursing home.
