New Jersey Nursing Home Humiliation Attorneys

Unfortunately their caretakers sometimes turn abusive. Humiliation is one of the most destructive forms of psychological abuse, but victims are not alone.

By acting now, victims and their loved ones can put an end to the abuse. To discuss your options with an experienced New Jersey nursing home humiliation lawyer, contact Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today by calling 800-346-5529.

Humiliation in Nursing Homes

Humiliation is a form of abuse that reduces a person’s sense of self-worth and humanity. Abusers use humiliation as a way to assert power over their victims. When these victims are already in a weakened state, such as many of the residents of nursing homes, the impact of humiliation and other forms of abuse can be much more severe.

Humiliation can reduce victims to feeling sub-human or worthless. Abusers may draw attention to personal characteristics of the victim in order to make them feel less than human. Victims of humiliation often experience intense depression and may have suicidal idealizations. If it is left unchecked, humiliation tends to intensify and can even lead to other forms of abuse.

While the signs of physical abuse are often visible as bruises and other injuries, psychological abuse leaves no visible signs. Victims of humiliation are often left feeling helpless and isolated, with no one to defend them. Unless the victims of psychological abuse or their loved ones speak out, it may go entirely unnoticed.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of humiliation in a nursing home, you are entitled to take legal action to end the abuse. With the help of an experienced New Jersey medical malpractice lawyer, you can recover compensation for the expenses and suffering caused by your abuse.
