Nursing Home Abuse

Need Nursing Home Attorneys In Charleston Who Will Fight For The Elderly?

Nursing Home Abuse at Assisted Living Facilities or Residential Care Centers unfortunately occurs much more often than people think, against helpless vulnerable adults. There is right and there is wrong. The South Carolina nursing home attorneys at Hughey Law Firm represent our elderly that are simply being treated wrong. Abuse may take the form of physical cruelty, such as hitting or pushing residents. In addition, other forms of mistreatment such as verbal and even sexual abuse. Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities are required to screen and hire those persons who do not have a history of neglect, abuse, mistreatment, or any other felony. The South Carolina Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys at Hughey Law Firm have the resources to uncover the facts of nursing home abuse through investigation, depositions, written discovery, interviews, investigators, and other means. Unfortunately, we know what goes on inside a nursing home. We use this to uncover and expose abuse while gaining justice for your family member or loved one.
