GROUP HOME ABUSE recovery LAW

At Snable Stevenson & Silva, we are deeply committed to championing the rights of vulnerable adults and children who reside in group residences or group homes. It is our solemn duty to hold responsible parties accountable when the trust placed in these institutions is violated through neglect, abuse, or mistreatment. Our dedicated team of group home abuse attorneys handle cases that involve physical, emotional, or financial harm inflicted upon residents in group homes. Our primary focus is on delivering justice and securing the best possible outcome for you and your loved one.

The aim of group homes is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for those who are unable to live independently due to various reasons, such as mental or physical disabilities, age, or other conditions requiring specialized care. Unfortunately, abuse and neglect in these settings are not uncommon, leaving residents susceptible to a range of detrimental and often irreversible consequences. 

Types of Abuse

• Physical Abuse: Includes hitting, slapping, and other forms of physical harm.
• Emotional Abuse: Encompasses actions such as belittling, humiliation, and isolation.
• Sexual Abuse: Involves any non-consensual sexual conduct.
• Financial Exploitation: Includes the unauthorized use of a resident's finances or assets.
• Neglect: Failing to provide the basic needs of residents, such as food, water, and medical care. Group home negligence can include a failure to identify and remove choking hazards, inappropriate resident placements resulting in violence between residents, inadequate supervision resulting in residents injuring themselves, or medication administration errors and over-medication.

Our Approach

• Initial Consultation: Our first step is to meet with you to discuss the details of the case and evaluate its merits.
• Investigation: We will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the abuse, including collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and consulting experts in the field.
• Litigation or Settlement: Depending on the specific circumstances, we will either pursue litigation against the responsible parties or seek an out-of-court settlement.
• Recovery: Our ultimate goal is to recover damages that adequately compensate for the pain and suffering endured, as well as any medical costs and emotional trauma.
