Unexplained Injuries
Did Your Loved One Suffer Unexplained Injuries in an Arizona Nursing Home?
Phoenix Elder Abuse Attorneys Serving Clients Throughout Arizona
When people entrust their elders to the care of a nursing home, they do it because they believe that the long-term care facility will provide better care than they can provide at home. When unexplained injuries occur — bruises and broken bones, for example — family members do not necessarily think that it may be a sign of a larger problem.
Negligence on the part of nursing home, or abuse on the part of staff or other resident, may be to blame. It may be important to look for subtle signs.
As experienced lawyers, we can help. The injury attorneys at Solomon & Relihan have been helping personal injury victims throughout Arizona for more than 30 years. We begin each case with a thorough investigation, looking for telltale signs of abuse and nursing home actions to cover up that abuse. Then we take legal action.
If you suspect your loved one has been injured because of negligence or abuse in an assisted living facility, contact Solomon & Relihan for a free initial consultation about unexplained nursing home injuries.
Suspicious or Unexplained Injuries

- Unexplained and significant weight loss (due to malnutrition)
- Lethargy and fainting (due to dehydration)
- Bruises from assault by staff members or other residents
- Aspiration pneumonia due to inhalation of food particles, more common in elderly people and people with dysphagia
- Broken bones suffered because of improper use of restraints or from falls because staff failed to assist a resident with walking
- Burns from failure to supervise a patient when smoking or from improper medical treatment
