Physical Abuse

At nursing homes, physical abuse occurs when residents are harmed by deliberate force or rough handling, such as hitting, slapping, or improper restraint. Florida law enforces that nursing homes provide care safely and respectfully. Violating these duties, resulting in physical harm is grounds for legal action.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

  • Benefits of Filing: Victims of nursing home physical abuse and their families can receive compensation for medical costs, pain, emotional distress, and possible other legal damages. Taking legal action also helps promote higher care standards and safety in nursing homes
  • Consequences Without Representation: Without an experienced attorney, proving nursing home abuse can be challenging. Facilities may deny or downplay allegations, and crucial evidence can be lost. Florida law sets a two-year statute of limitations for abuse claims. Failing to meet deadlines or establish a strong case can mean abuse continues and victims receive no justice
