Maricopa County Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

Welcome to the Maricopa County Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Abuse Law Firm Attorney Resource and Information Page

Reports of elder abuse and neglect in Arizona nursing homes continue to increase as more and more elders become dependent upon life-saving care from these facilities. The Arizona Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys at the Law Firm of Young and Wallin are committed to representing nursing home negligence and abuse victims in Maricopa County, AZ and are dedicated to defending their legal rights.

Every day, hundreds of elderly nursing home patients in Arizona are at risk for becoming victims of nursing home negligence, abuse and medical misconduct.  Research indicates that for one report of elder abuse or neglect in a nursing home there are likely five or more that go unreported. Often, investigations by nursing home abuse attorneys reveal a continuing pattern of negligence in the facility.

Throughout the last decade, research studies with varying case definitions, samples and surveying methods estimate the frequency of elder abuse at 2% to 10% and these numbers are on the rise. By 2025, the elder population is projected to reach 62 million with many of these individuals eventually turning to long-term nursing homes for assistance and care.

Some indications of elder abuse can include; unexplained injuries, such as bruises, scratches or burns, frequent or unattended pressure sores, frequent falls, soiled bed linens or clothing, a sudden or unusual change in behavior, such as depression or emotional withdrawal by the resident.

The decision for families to place a loved one in a nursing home is often a difficult one. When that time comes, however, families expect that their loved one will be well-taken care of. By law, they are entitled to expect that, but all too often, families find themselves facing pain and torment when they discover their loved one is being neglected or abused by their nursing home caregivers.

If you suspect that someone you care about has been a victim of abuse and neglect in a Maricopa County nursing home you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit, or a wrongful death claim if the negligence or maltreatment was fatal. However, it is very important that you take action immediately in cases of nursing home abuse or neglect, because time is of the essence. Over time, victims and witnesses can often become uncertain about details or become unavailable for interviews and testimony.

Do not hesitate to contact Arizona nursing home abuse attorney, James Morgan at the law firm of Young and Wallin for a free consultation to discuss your situation. If we decide to take your case, our experienced and knowledgeable legal team will diligently investigate the nursing home and all evidence surrounding your elder abuse claim. We provide legal representation on a contingent basis, meaning we only receive payment if you receive compensation.

Young & Wallin achieved an excellent result.  My father died due to neglect at a nursing home.  Initially my family was apprehensive about pursuing it and we waited for over a year before contacting the law office.  The facility kept stalling us with stories about an investigation, but never admitted any fault.  In less than six months, I received compensation for the suffering and death of my father, and I am very happy with the results they achieved for my family.

My husband suffered a stroke out of state and was transferred to a local rehabilitation facility.  He was only in facility for nine days and suffered neglect and injury from falls and the failure to provide the care that they promised us.  After contacting Young & Wallin, the facility immediately recognized their failure and agreed to compensate my husband for his suffering and injuries that he received.  We did not expect much, but Young & Wallin got a great result for us.  The staff and lawyers were very helpful and understanding throughout this process.

Young & Wallin is a great team to have on your side.  The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.  They were always available when I had questions and are ready to help.  I am very happy with the outcome that they obtained for our family.

I was referred to Young & Wallin and they were very helpful in repairing my case.  Another lawyer initiated my case but I felt that he was not providing me with good representation.  Mr. Young obtained my case and got me an excellent outcome.  The recovery I received was very fair.

Young & Wallin are a great team and are very knowledgeable and helpful.  They allowed me to have great input on my case and allowed me to be very involved with the process.  The nursing home abuse lawyers took time for my questions and always had good advice and counsel for me.  They made the whole process less stressful and it seemed manageable.
