One of the most heinous acts committed against residents or patients in nursing homes or long-term care facilities is sexual abuse. Some reports indicate that one in 10 cases of physical abuse reported in nursing homes involves acts of a sexual nature. Sexual abuse in a nursing home can be difficult to detect and even harder to prove. If your loved one has been the victim of sexual abuse, you want an experienced personal injury lawyer to fight for your loved one’s rights.

At Blackman Legal Group, we have focused our practice exclusively on personal injury claims for more than 33 years. We take a comprehensive approach with our clients, carefully explaining the law and the legal process, as well as your options and likelihood of success. We carefully prepare every case, paying close attention to every detail so that we can build the strongest case for your recovery. As a result, our attorneys often settle claims at or above insurance policy limits, and we have obtained numerous verdicts or settlements that exceed $1 million for clients.

Our Nursing Home Sexual Abuse Practice

Our attorneys understand the challenges that come with sexual abuse cases and will work closely with you and your loved one, carefully gathering all the evidence to support your case. We handle all types of sexual abuse claims, including cases involving

  • sexual intercourse.
  • unwanted sexual touching, including kissing, fondling, pinching, punching, whipping, slapping or spanking.
  • forced nudity that falls outside of reasonable needs to bathe or otherwise care for the resident.
  • exposing oneself to nursing home residents.
  • posing nursing home residents for nude or provocative pictures.
  • forcing nursing home residents to view pornographic materials or listen to sexual jokes or stories.

If you have a loved one who has bruising around the breasts, stomach or thighs, it may be a sign of sexual abuse. Other indications include discomfort when sitting or difficulty walking.

We handle all personal injury claims, including nursing home sexual abuse, on a contingent fee basis. You will only be charged attorney fees if we recover compensation for your injuries.
