Anonymous Letter Reveals Potential Nursing Home Abuse



Nursing home abuse may be the direct result of negligence and carelessness on the part of the staff or lack of care and attention to residents. If you suspect a loved one suffered a personal injury or wrongful death due to nursing home abuse or neglect, it is important to consult an experienced attorney as soon as possible. A lawsuit may be the only way to seek justice and compensation for one’s loss. It may also be a means to improve safety and quality of care. For victims seeking lawsuit funding while waiting for their case to settle, Lawsuit Financial can help.

A California family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Palm Village Retirement Center in Reedley and a nurse in its employ, based on the information contained in an anonymous letter. When their 93-year-old mother died less than a week before Thanksgiving, the family thought it was just old age. But, on the day of her memorial everything changed. The deceased woman’s son received a letter outlining at least two instances in the night when his mother complained of illness, and at least two instances of the night nurse refusing to assess her, even scolding staff members for bothering her with the information. The woman was found unresponsive later that morning and transported to Adventist Medical Center-Selma, where she died a day later. The family is asking for an unspecified amount for damages for pain and suffering, and for special and general damages for malice, fraud, recklessness and oppression.

Taking legal action is an effective way to stop such negligence and prevent it from happening to others. Unfortunately, the financial and emotional roller coaster of a lawsuit is equally as painful as the loss. Lawsuit Financial may be able to assist this family through any difficult financial issues they may face by providing a lawsuit cash advance. We offer a quick and easy approval process - less than 48 hours, with no upfront fees, monthly payments, credit checks or employment verification. Additionally, the money is provided risk-free; the family would not need to pay us back until the case successful settles. If they lose, the repayment is waived in its entirety.

If you or a loved one suffered physical or emotional injuries because an assisted living facility or nursing home was negligent or failed to fulfill its care obligations to your loved one, you may have grounds for a nursing home/assisted living negligence case.
