Sexual Abuse

When Trust Is Violated in the Worst Way

Families place a parent or grandparent in a care facility trusting that they will be protected, not preyed upon. When a resident suffers sexual abuse, it is the most severe breach of that trust there is, and it demands a response that matches the severity of the harm.

At Justice 4 Elders, we handle these cases with absolute discretion, urgency, and ferocity. We pursue criminal referrals alongside civil claims, and we make sure the facility that allowed it answers in every venue available.

How We Investigate Sexual Abuse Claims

Within days of taking a case, our team moves to:

• Secure incident reports, MDS records, and internal investigation files before they can be altered or lost
• Request the facility's staffing and employee history, including background checks and prior complaints
• Coordinate with law enforcement on any criminal referral
• Retain medical and psychological experts to document injury and trauma
• Identify whether the facility had prior warning signs involving the same staff member or a pattern at the same facility

What You May Be Entitled To

Families who pursue a claim may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical and psychological treatment costs
• Pain and suffering
• Relocation and replacement care costs
• Punitive damages against the facility
• Wrongful death damages, where applicable

If you suspect a loved one has suffered sexual abuse in a nursing home or care facility, you do not have to navigate this alone. Contact Justice 4 Elders today for a free, confidential consultation.
