Areas of Law

Areas of Law Description

Knapp & Roberts represents clients in the following areas of practice:

- Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

If you suspect that your loved one has been abused or is being neglected by a nursing home that you have trusted to care for him or her, contact our law firm. We will investigate what is happening and advise you of your legal rights to protect your aging mother, father or grandparent and to stop the home from hurting other families.

• Assisted Living Injuries

In Arizona, assisted living facilities are regulated pursuant to the Arizona Administrative Code and are required to report to the State of Arizona suspected or alleged abuse, neglect, or exploitation within 24 hours of receiving the allegation. In addition assisted living centers must prevent the suspected or alleged abuse, neglect, or exploitation from occurring in the future.

• Nursing Home Injuries

The abuse of nursing home residents has come to the attention of the public in the past few decades. The frequency of abuse was shocking not only to the public, but to lawmakers as well. Some of the abuse brought to light included: physical abuse, deprivation of food, water or medical care and residents being taken advantage of financially.

• Group Homes

Group Homes allow elderly adults and persons with developmental disabilities the opportunity to live in a regular house in a community neighborhood with a small number of other individuals. Direct care staff is available 24 hours a day to provide the supports and training each person desires and needs.

- Abuse or Neglect

Trusting another person to care for the day-to-day needs of your loved one - whether an aging parent, grandparent or other family member - is a difficult step. When that trust is abused and you are given reason to question whether your loved one is being treated properly while a nursing home resident, our firm can investigate your concerns.

• Falls

If a loved one fell in a nursing home and suffered a serious injury or wrongful death, talk to a nursing home neglect lawyer about the circumstances. We can help you determine what you should do.

• Bed Sores

Bed sores are a strong indication that a nursing home is not providing adequate care for its patients. A bed sore is caused by constant pressure on the skin. If left untreated bed sores can become infected, cause severe tissue damage to bones and muscles, and even lead to death.

• Wandering Off

Wandering off is a recurring issue for nursing homes. Patients with limited strength or with dementia wander off the premises. Because it is a frequent issue, nursing homes should be prepared to prevent wandering off and elopement.

• Sexual Assault

Sexual assault demeans and devalues its victims. When a vulnerable elderly adult is sexually assaulted in a place that is supposed to be safe, the consequences can be catastrophic, emotionally and physically. The problem is even worse for those who cannot express themselves or who are not believed.

• Malnutrition / Dehydration

Good nutrition and hydration is essential for everyone. For nursing home residents, eating and drinking can be difficult at times. Some residents may be dependent on others to supply food and water.

• Suspicious Injuries

When a parent or grandparent is in a nursing home and you are unable to monitor their day-to-day activities, it can be frightening when you feel there is something happening to your loved one. Contact the nursing home injury lawyers at Knapp & Roberts.
