At the Odom Law Firm, we believe everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect, including those unable to assert their own rights. Since 1982, our Fayetteville elder abuse attorneys have been working with family members of neglected and/or abused nursing home residents, aggressively combating the indignities suffered by these vulnerable individuals. Although our office is located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, we serve nursing home clients throughout the state, helping them collect compensation for their injuries and alerting the proper authorities to the neglect or abuse.
We work with local and national experts to thoroughly evaluate each case and seek efficient resolutions. If possible, we will use our negotiation skills to settle your case. However, if your case is best served by going to trial, we are prepared to aggressively fight for your loved one's rights in the courtroom.
If you suspect someone you love has been subjected to nursing home negligence or abuse, contact us online or call our office to schedule a free initial consultation. Our firm is AV-rated* under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system.
When our nursing home abuse lawyers at Odom Law Firm investigate cases, we often uncover evidence that staffing inadequacies are at the heart of the problem. Namely:
- Understaffing
- Improper screening of staff before hiring
- Inadequate training of caregivers
Unsupervised staff members are only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to bedsores. Institutional systemic deficiencies are all too often the ultimate cause of development of bedsores and other forms of negligence and abuse in nursing homes.
