Nursing Home Abuse/Neglect

Mr. Bentley is a former chair of the Nursing Home Section of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice. He is also an active member of the Nursing Home Litigation Group of the American Association for Justice.

When we must depend on nursing homes and assisted living facilities to provide nursing care or rehabilitation for our loved ones, those facilities sometimes violate that trust by failing to provide proper care, or they may allow abuse or neglect to occur. Abuse or neglect can result in serious injury or wrongful death. Sometimes even what was supposed to be a short rehabilitation stay can lead to a permanent injury or death. Unfortunately, these tragic situations are common occurrences. Bentley Law Offices, P.A. handles nursing home and assisted living facility abuse and neglect cases. When these facilities cause serious injury or wrongful death, we may be able to help. If you or your family have been the victim of abuse or neglect in a nursing home or assisted living facility, due to falls, pressure ulcers or pressure sores, deep tissue injuries, medication errors, dehydration, malnutrition, or other types of abuse or neglect, contact us for a consultation without charge.
