Nursing Home Abuse & Wrongful Death Attorneys in Cabell, Lincoln, and Wayne Counties

Placing a loved one in a nursing home or long-term care facility is a decision rooted in trust. You expect them to receive proper care, yet nursing home abuse and neglect are becoming increasingly common in West Virginia. Understaffing, inadequate training, and low funding can lead to serious harm. If you suspect a loved one is being mistreated, it is critical to act immediately. At Sammons Olivero & Paraschos, our Huntington attorneys are experienced in holding facilities accountable and seeking justice for victims of abuse or neglect.

Recognizing the Signs of Abuse and Neglect

Nursing home abuse can take many forms, some obvious and others hidden. Signs of abuse may include:

Unexplained bruising, bedsores, or other physical injuries

Dehydration or malnutrition

Improper medication administration

Frequent falls or accidents

Poor personal hygiene

If you notice any of these signs or other changes in your loved one’s health or behavior, it is crucial to contact an experienced attorney. Our team understands the emotional impact of discovering mistreatment and provides compassionate guidance while fighting for accountability and compensation.

Protecting Your Loved One & Seeking Justice

Our attorneys work closely with families to investigate abuse or neglect claims, gather evidence, and pursue legal remedies. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages to hold negligent parties responsible. With decades of experience, our Huntington team has helped families through the most challenging times while ensuring their loved ones’ safety and dignity remain a top priority.

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence can be devastating. When the death results from preventable actions or intentional misconduct, families may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. While no compensation can replace your loved one, it can help cover medical expenses, funeral costs, and lost income and provide some measure of justice. Our attorneys guide families through every step of the process, ensuring responsible parties are held accountable.

Types of Wrongful Death Cases We Handle

At Sammons Olivero & Paraschos, our attorneys assist families with wrongful death claims arising from a wide range of circumstances, including:

Car accidents
