Chicago Personal Injury Lawyers of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. Use Website to Help Illinois Nursing Home Abuse / Neglect Victims
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 22, 2013 -- The Chicago personal injury law firm of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. announced today that it has added new information to its website that addresses the problem of nursing home abuse and neglect in Illinois.
Managing equity partner Patrick A. Salvi said the new content on SalviLaw.com reflects the firm’s commitment to providing legal help to nursing home abuse/neglect victims and their families.
“Unfortunately, in many cases, older adults are abused or neglected in nursing homes, but the problem goes unreported,” Salvi said. “Our firm’s goal is to raise awareness. We want those who suspect that this kind of wrongful conduct is occurring to step forward.”
The firm’s website now features descriptions of the abuse, neglect and exploitation that make up the “hidden crime” of elder abuse – and how this conduct can be recognized.
The content also explains legal options that are generally available to nursing home abuse victims and their families, including the pursuit of a civil lawsuit.
Salvi said he hopes people who have family members in nursing homes or similar residential care arrangements will read the site’s material and feel empowered to act if they suspect their loved one is being harmed.
“Our firm has a group of experienced lawyers and legal staff dedicated to nursing home abuse and elder neglect cases, and we are ready to listen and look into the problems Illinois residents bring to us,” Salvi said.
“When action is appropriate, an attorney can move quickly to seek an immediate end to the abuse and to hold those responsible for it fully accountable.”
