New Mexico Nursing Home Abuse Law Firm

New Mexico Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers

The decision was difficult: settling on a long-term care solution for a family member. Whether you determined that a home healthcare aide would provide an adequate level of support or turned to an assisted living facility or a nursing home, your family is relying on the medical professionals involved to provide loving and capable care. The patient may instead become the victim of negligence that results in neglect, abuse, or even an assault. We feel this exploitation of a vulnerable adult is inexcusable. At Branch Law Firm® our attorneys represent clients throughout New Mexico in claims for nursing home negligence and abuse.

If you suspect a case of nursing home negligence call 1-800-828-4529 or e-mail our Albuquerque office. A lawyer will discuss the best way to protect the patient.

In over forty years of service to New Mexico residents our attorneys have seen patterns of neglect and abuse. On this site we are providing more information on the following topics:

• Improper staffing, a common cause of nursing home abuse and neglect
• Signs of emotional abuse such as depression, withdrawal, and anxiety
• Signs of physical abuse and neglect : bedsores, bruises, fractures
• Nursing home assaults by residents or staff
• Elder abuse by home care providers
• Medication errors and abuse
• Audio-video monitoring
• Being a patient advocate
• Federal standards for nursing home care

It is our responsibility as a society to see that nursing home negligence does not touch the vulnerable adults and children entrusted to institutional care. If you know of a patient who is the victim of nursing home abuse, neglect, or assault, please call our Albuquerque firm and arrange a free consultation with an attorney.
