At Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, we understand that placing a loved one in a nursing home requires trust. You expect the facility to provide compassionate and professional care. Unfortunately, not all nursing homes meet this standard, and some residents suffer from neglect or abuse.
If you suspect mistreatment in an Eau Claire nursing home, know that our experienced nursing home abuse lawyers are here to help.
Nursing home abuse occurs when a resident experiences harm due to intentional mistreatment or neglect. This can take many forms, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, and even financial exploitation.
Some common signs of abuse and neglect include:
If you notice any of these warning signs, be sure to handle the situation with care. That may include connecting with a lawyer. Nursing home abuse attorneys have the resources necessary to investigate the situation and help protect your loved one’s rights.
At Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, we take nursing home neglect seriously. Our legal team will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the suspected abuse and build a strong case.
Here’s how we can assist you:
1. Investigating the Abuse
We gather evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and facility inspection reports to determine the extent of the abuse.
2. Holding the Nursing Home Accountable
If a nursing home has failed to provide proper care, we pursue legal action to ensure they are held responsible. This may involve filing a lawsuit against the facility or specific staff members.
3. Seeking Compensation
Victims of nursing home abuse may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages. Our team fights to secure the maximum compensation possible.
4. Preventing Future Abuse
By taking legal action, you not only seek justice for your loved one but also help prevent similar mistreatment of other residents.
Wisconsin law protects nursing home residents from abuse and neglect. The Wisconsin Nursing Home Residents’ Rights laws ensure that residents receive proper care and are treated with dignity. Facilities that fail to uphold these standards can be held accountable for any harm caused to their residents.
Additionally, the federal Nursing Home Reform Actsets minimum care requirements for nursing home facilities that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding. Violations of these laws can result in legal consequences, including fines and lawsuits.
If you believe that a loved one is being abused or neglected in an Eau Claire nursing home, take the following steps:

In this car accident case, the client suffered catastrophic injuries in a head-on collision when the at-fault driver crossed the center line. Her injuries included multiple broken bones in the chest, ribs, wrist, and ankle, internal injuries requiring intestinal surgery, and a damaged artery in the spine.

We also negotiated a reduction of more than $468,000 in outstanding medical costs to ensure the client received maximum financial recovery for her life-altering injuries and permanent impact on her ability to work.
