Elder abuse — whether physical, emotional, financial, or through neglect — is a serious and underreported problem in Utah nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home care settings. Family members who suspect their loved one is being abused or neglected have legal options to pursue accountability and compensation. We represent elderly victims and their families in civil actions against abusers and negligent facilities.
Types of Elder Abuse
Physical abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, sexual abuse, financial exploitation, and neglect (failure to provide adequate food, hygiene, medical care, and supervision) all qualify as elder abuse under Utah law. Nursing homes that are chronically understaffed or fail to follow care plans are frequently liable for neglect-related injuries.
Signs of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect
Unexplained injuries, sudden weight loss, poor hygiene, bedsores (pressure ulcers), depression or withdrawal, fear of caregivers, and unexplained financial transactions are warning signs. If you observe these in a loved one, document your observations and contact us immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is liable for elder abuse in a nursing home?
The individual abuser, the nursing home facility, and — in cases of systemic understaffing or inadequate training — the nursing home's corporate parent may all be liable. We investigate the full chain of responsibility and pursue all available remedies.
