Group Home Abuses

A number of adults and youth with developmental disabilities are admitted in group homes. There they require specialized training and care adapted to specific capabilities and needs.

These susceptible individuals depend on others to offer the care and supervision necessary to assist them through daily life.

Unfortunately, many cases of neglect and abuse of individuals in group homes occur regularly; fortunately, personal injury attorneys handle a number of cases related to custodial neglect and abuse.

There are specific laws in different states to offer rights to developmentally disabled youth and adults who reside in group homes and residential facilities.

Regarding group home abuses, attorneys are familiar intimately with these various laws, and have prosecuted successfully a number of cases under the law.

Similar to an assisted living facility or nursing home, there are a number of kinds of injuries, which can be connected to group homes.

Several particular areas of concern entail the following: burns; physical abuse; lack of supervision; medication errors; fractures; drops and falls; rape and various sexual abuses; infections; denied or delayed medical care; malnutrition and dehydration; and unexplained injuries.

If a child or a member of your family is in a group home, and you are suspicious of neglect or abuse, immediately contact a personal injury lawyer.

The skills, knowledge, expertise, and experience can work to your benefit in providing answers, and bringing to justice the wrongdoers.

In previous cases, attorneys worked closely with criminal prosecutors and law enforcement to help punish abusers and prove a case related to group home abuses.

In the United States, annually, there are in relation to elder abuse about 500,000 reports.

Half take place, of these claims, in assisted living facilities or nursing homes.

These statistics are vastly high. Thus, elder and nursing home abuse, while shocking, are truly real concerns which must be addressed.
