New Jersey Nursing Home Sexual Abuse Lawyers

Each year, an untold number of nursing home residents suffer abuse at the hands of their nursing home attendants. Sadly, these instances often involve sexual abuse of elderly individuals, many of whom are unable to defend themselves.

Sexual abuse and molestation is a serious crime that should not go unpunished. If your loved one was sexually abused while in a nursing home, contact the New Jersey nursing home sexual abuse lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529 to learn more about your legal rights and options.

What Is Sexual Abuse?

Sexual abuse is a broad term used to describe any sexual act that is forced upon an individual. This includes:

  • Sexual harassment
  • Inappropriate touching
  • Rape
  • Forced physical interaction

These are serious crimes that can injure an individual both physically and emotionally. As such, victims of sexual assault may be entitled to financial compensation to help them recover.

Since many nursing home patrons are afraid to report acts of sexual abuse because of fear of repercussion or because of a lack of ability, it is often up to the families of these individuals to pursue action in the form of a New Jersey sexual abuse lawsuit if they see signs of abuse in their loved ones.
