Nursing Home Sexual Assault Attorney, Arizona – Handling Cases of Sexual Abuse in Assisted Living Facilities and Nursing Homes
Sadly, nursing home residents often become victims of sexual predators because they are unable to protect themselves. Unable to physically ward off unwanted contact, they also tend to have impairments that prohibit them from communicating that abuse has occurred. Our Phoenix law firm stands up for these victims of sexual abuse, making sure that abusers are held accountable for their options.
At Solomon & Relihan, we have been representing the victims of personal injury for more than 30 years. Bringing successful lawsuits throughout Arizona, we have helped thousands of personal injury victims hold wrongdoers accountable for the harm they have caused.
Sexual Abuse in Arizona Nursing Homes
Sexual abuse takes many forms. In nursing homes, it can involve inappropriate touching, forced nudity, unwanted sexual advances, and sexual assault/rape. The perpetrators can be staff members, other residents or visitors to the nursing home.
There are many ways that nursing homes contribute to sexual assault and other forms of sexual abuse at their facilities:
- Failing to conduct adequate background checks on employees
- Providing insufficient supervision of employees
- Failing to prevent sexual abuse by another resident
- Insufficient monitoring of visitors to the nursing home
Nursing homes should provide a safe and caring environment for all residents, but they often fail to help very people they are supposed to protect from harm. They fail to properly screen or supervise employees, and they fail to keep an eye on other residents who are known to engage in inappropriate physical or sexual behavior due to dementia.
