Plantation Elder Abuse Attorney

Leaser Law Firm is a greater Fort Lauderdale Attorney who handle all sorts of elder abuse throughout the state of Florida. Families struggle with the decision everyday to place their loved ones in the care of others. Many of these facilities are well run and have great and attentive staffs that care dearly for their residents. Florida nursing homes are not all created equal. The elderly in South Florida are often harmed due to the neglect or intentional actions of staff. This can be due to poor training, being underfunded, or a nursing home not hiring the right people for the job. Whatever the reason, this type of abuse needs to be stopped and you need an experienced attorney on your side to fight for your rights. When you put your trust in an assisted living facility or nursing home, they must deliver. We hold them accountable if they do not.

In Florida, there are many types of elder law abuse that can take place. These transpire often because of the help needed to lead their lives. This can be as basic as moving around, eating and/or bathing assistance. After being admitted into a nursing home or assisted living facility, this aid is not only reasonable, but is expected and the reason that the elder person is placed in their care. There is no excuse to rob someone of their self-respect or dignity that takes place all too often in south Florida.
