Examples of Nursing Home Abuse We Seek Justice for in Alpharetta
Our personal injury lawyers serving Alpharetta are familiar with various types of elder abuse. Different abuses may produce different signs and symptoms, and our attorneys work with experts to identify all signs of nursing home abuse.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) lists several types of abuse known to happen in nursing homes, including:
- Physical abuse: Any inappropriate or damaging physical contact may qualify as physical abuse. Slapping, punching, throwing, pinching, burning, and tripping are examples of physical elder abuse.
- Emotional and psychological abuse: If someone inflicts emotional or psychological distress on a nursing home resident—intentionally or not—they may commit emotional or psychological abuse. Threats, name-calling, and intentional isolation of the victim are examples of such abuse.
- Sexual abuse: Inappropriate sexual conduct toward a nursing home resident is sexual abuse.
- Financial exploitation: Stealing, overbilling, and financial manipulation are examples of financial exploitation. Nursing home residents and their loved ones could be victims of financial exploitation even if the nursing home resident does not control their finances.
Negligence is another type of mistreatment seen in nursing homes. It occurs when caregivers or their superiors fail to ensure basic services, including bathing, mobility assistance, help with eating and drinking, and administration of medications.
Our firm also handles cases involving medical malpractice and other forms of negligence in a nursing home setting.

Recoverable Damages for Victims of Nursing Home Abuse in AlpharettaAbuse can cause significant and lifelong damages for a victim, possibly including:
- Pain and suffering: Any abuse can cause substantial pain and suffering. Your loved one may suffer post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), emotional anguish, psychological distress, and other pain and suffering.
- Non-routine medical costs: Nursing home residents generally require routine medical care. However, an abuse victim may need additional care to diagnose and treat the symptoms of the abuse.
- Mental health treatment costs: If your loved one needs treatment to overcome psychological or emotional symptoms of abuse, liable parties should cover treatment costs. We’ll demand that they cover it.
- Relocation costs: It’s reasonable for abuse victims to move from the facility where the abuse happened. Liable parties should, therefore, cover the cost of relocation.
