Pennsylvania Nursing Home Sexual Abuse Lawyers
Sexual abuse is an unspeakable act in any circumstance, but when the victim is a helpless, elderly individual who is abused by someone that is supposed to be taking care of them, the act is particularly harmful. Nursing homes, while a great asset to those who need help caring for loved ones, may also be a danger when staff members take advantage of the vulnerability of residents.
Anyone who suspects that their family member has been the victim of sexual abuse in a nursing home environment should contact a lawyer as soon as possible in order to begin taking action against the perpetrators of this traumatic act. Contact a Pennsylvania injury attorney of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at today to discuss your case and how we may be able to help.
Identifying Sexual Abuse
Signs of sexual abuse may vary from case to case. If your family member has suddenly become withdrawn or is showing signs of bruising or physical altercation, it may be necessary to investigate the situation further. Common examples of sexual abuse in nursing homes include:
- Rape
- Molestation
- Sexual harassment
Both verbal and physical actions can constitute sexual abuse, and no one should ever have to put up with this type of treatment from a trusted caretaker.
