Nursing Home Neglect Lawsuits in Connecticut and New York
Each year, thousands of elderly or otherwise vulnerable people living in America's nursing homes are harmed because of abuse and neglect.

Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
It isn't always easy to know if a loved one has been the victim of nursing home neglect or abuse. At the same time, you may also be dealing with feelings of guilt over not seeing your loved one often enough to know or for having chosen a particular home. These emotions are normal, but they are also misplaced.
The truth is, ignoring what your instincts are telling you and not at least discussing the possibility that the abuse is real is the one course of action you want to avoid.
Our attorneys have handled numerous cases involving nursing home neglect and know what the injuries and other signs of abuse are. These include:
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Bruising or pressure sores on the wrists or ankles
- Frequent injuries accompanied by mysterious explanations
- Sudden onset of dementia (may be caused by deliberate overmedication used as a means of control)
- Depression, uncommunicativeness
