Nursing home abuse and wrongful neglect occur throughout the United States on a daily basis. The highly accomplished elder abuse attorneys in Illinois at Schoen Browne, P.C. law firm stand ready to provide effective legal counsel and litigation representation to the victims of elderly abuse — both the elderly and their family members.

A surprising variety of individuals have been found guilty of abusing the elderly in nursing homes and similar facilities and programs entrusted with the care of the elderly:

  • physicians
  • nurses
  • nursing aides
  • social workers
  • cleaning staff
  • administrative personnel
  • other residents
  • intruders
  • family members

The elderly are vulnerable to abuse that may be physical in form, but the abuse can also take forms that emotional/verbal, sexual, medical, or financial. No matter what the circumstances, elder abuse is illegal, and the facility and/or personnel that commit the abuse can be held liable for the injuries inflicted.
