You don't need to know whether abuse or neglect occurred before asking questions.
- Your loved one suffered a serious or unexplained injury
- The facility has not clearly explained what happened
- Problems continue despite complaints
- You are concerned that inadequate care caused harm

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as nursing home abuse or neglect?
Abuse is intentional harm — physical, emotional, sexual, or financial. Neglect is a failure to provide needed care, such as help with eating, hygiene, medication, mobility, or supervision.
What if I'm not sure whether neglect occurred?
That's common. You don't need to know before asking questions. The review helps you organize what you've noticed, and an attorney can help evaluate it.
Does an unexplained fall mean the facility was negligent?
Not necessarily. Falls can happen even with good care. What often matters is whether the facility assessed fall risk, followed the care plan, and responded properly.
What if my loved one has bedsores?
Bedsores can sometimes develop despite reasonable care, but advanced or worsening sores may point to missed repositioning, nutrition, or wound care. They're worth asking about.
Do I need medical records before requesting a consultation?
No. Notes, dates, and photos you already have can help, but you don't need records to start.
What if the nursing home says the injury was unavoidable?
Facilities sometimes give that explanation. An attorney can review whether the records and circumstances support it.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Requesting a consultation is free.
Do I have to hire an attorney?
No. There's no obligation to hire anyone.
What happens after I submit my information?
Your request and answers are shared for review. If your situation may be a fit, an attorney or their team may contact you to discuss what happened and possible next steps.
