Elder Abuse & Neglect Attorneys Serving California

When a skilled nursing facility fails to meet its legal obligations to residents, California law provides powerful tools to hold them accountable. We have handled hundreds of nursing home cases across the state, from bedsores and falls to systemic understaffing and wrongful death.

Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, “Assisted Living,” or “Memory Care” facilities provide housing and care, but they are not nursing homes and cannot always address greater medical needs. We understand the different standards that apply to these facilities and how to hold them accountable.

When a hospital fails to protect a vulnerable patient, the case may involve medical malpractice, elder abuse, or both. We know how to evaluate these claims under both legal frameworks and pursue the path that gives families the strongest opportunity for accountability.

Elder abuse and neglect can happen through home health agencies, hospice providers, wound care services, or private caregivers. These cases can be difficult to uncover, and we know how to investigate harm that occurs behind closed doors or during inconsistent care.

Medical errors can cause devastating harm when providers fail to diagnose, treat, monitor, or respond appropriately. We understand when a case should be pursued as medical malpractice, elder abuse, or both, and how that distinction can affect the outcome.

When abuse, neglect, or medical malpractice takes a life, families deserve answers and accountability. We help families investigate what happened and pursue claims that recognize the value of the life that was lost.
