San Diego Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers handling cases throughout California

In recent years, nursing home abuse and litigation has been on the rise. Because of a growing societal awareness of the serious and wide-spread neglect and abuse that occurs daily in this nation’s nursing homes, states such as California have enacted laws to protect the elderly from suffering abuse and/or neglect, including California’s Elder and Dependant Adult Civil Protection Act (referred to as “EADACPA” or the “Act”). This is a most complex law that was specifically designed to protect the elderly and dependant adults from physical, emotional and financial abuse and neglect, and only a skilled, knowledgeable attorney who is familiar with the provisions and complexities of California’s nursing home abuse and neglect laws can provide a victim of nursing home abuse and neglect with the best legal representation.
