Providing a Path Forward

Compensation recovery in nursing home abuse cases may cover easily calculated needs such as medical expenses, as well as more difficult to qualify  pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases of spiteful acts of negligence there is a possibility of imposing significant damages used to punish the at-fault party.

Albany Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys

Who’s to Blame?

More than one person may be responsible for what your loved one has experienced, in addition to the nursing home itself if:

  • The staff was not properly trained
  • Proper hiring standards were not in place
  • Standards were ignored leading to a dangerous individual being hired
  • Failure to adequately supervise staff
  • Failure to report abuse

Whatever your case looks like, we promise to pursue all legal remedies for you and your loved ones.

So I was struck by a vehicle on August 2, 2023 and it changed my life. I lost a lot and barely made it through. If it weren’t for Ms. Sarah Root I wouldn’t have been able to bear the situation at all. Ms. Sarah alongside Mr. Christopher G were the best to me. I would never want to go to another firm after this pleasurable experience. Thank you 🙏🏽

I've had to use Montlick and Associates twice now, and each time I have been met with professionalism, empathy, and a hardworking team! Attorney Mike Moran does everything he can to maximize the amount of your settlement and leaves no stones unturned. His paralegal, Laura, is who I spoke to almost every week for over a year, and she is a gem! She was very helpful in making sure I was keeping track of all of the medical expenses I incurred, along with any symptoms from my accidents. She's professional, yet takes the right amount of time to address all of my questions, and she just really shows the kind of attitude it takes to deal with someone who is frustrated and in pain. Hopefully, you'll never need an accident attorney, but if you do, choose Montlick and ask for Mike Moran and Laura Gonzalez!

Cate Powell and her team took excellent care of me during the duration of my accident lawsuit. She kept me up to date with the other insurance parties and I couldn’t be more satisfied with this service.
Miljae Jackson
I had the pleasure of working with the incredible Attorney Mumpower after a serious car accident, and she made the entire process so much easier than I ever expected. From start to finish, she was extremely professional, thorough, and supportive. She, along with Jaron, were both pleasant to work with and walked me through every step of the process. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I received the settlement I deserved. I’m truly grateful for their expertise and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance!
Jennifer Hammond
Someone pulled out in front of me in may of this year totaling my car and deploying my airbags , This is my first time ever being in a situation like this I was scared & overwhelmed I didn’t even know where to start Sara Root and her legal assistant Christopher Gladys went above and beyond to make things understandable and easy they send u to the best specialist and they take care of you as well , they go ABOVE AND BEYOND TO GET YOU THE MOST OF YOUR CASE THAT THEY CAN !!! They will never not fight for you and they always keep you updated as they go, hopefully I’ll never have to go through this again but if I ever do I would not hesitate to use them again and I will always refer them to anyone looking for an accident attorney!
Athens Edwards
I was in a not at fault, roll over accident in December of last year. I felt early on that their Insurance company was not going to be cooperative in settling this claim fairly. I contacted Alyssa and that very day put her on retainer. She and her team immediately began handling the case and within the week their insurance company representative completely changed their tone and started giving me a fair shake. The case settled and I am very satisfied with its outcome. I paid for a car policy for 30 years and never had a claim and when I needed them, they wanted to play games. All I wanted was a fair treatment. Alyssa and her team made sure that happened! Alyssa, thank you so much for your help.
Paul Cox
In March I was in an car accident with my infant son. I immediately reached out to Montlick and Associates. Attorney Nives Juric was the attorney I had the pleasure of working with. She was kind, listened to my concerns, and how I felt after the accident. She frequently checked on me and kept me updated/informed during the entire process/negotioation period. Her and her assistant Krystal make an excellent team. Krystal updated me, questioned me about all the ins and outs of the accident, checked on my son, and also kept me informed. They got me in contact with their preferred doctors to get me looked at and for me to receive physical therapy.Almost exactly 7 months after the accident I received my settlement check. I am quite happy with the amount that I received.I would definitely recommend Attorney Nives Juric. She got me what I deserved, and even more!
Jordan Feaster
My attorney (Nives R. Juric) and her assistant (Krystal Rivers) were very professional, attentive and did their due diligence to see that this case was done correctly.I was involved in a hit and run accident that could have gone nowhere. However, between the police and Nives - this fellow was located after he left the scene and found to be at fault.I can truly say that if I tried to solve this case on my own, the case would have gone nowhere but it was Nives and Krystal that did all the work and kept on pushing for a resolution. Can’t thank them enough!
Sandy Mueller

Nikki and the rest of the staff were incredibly professional and proficient while handling my car accident case! I recommend Montlick and Associates to anyone who has been in car accident because they work very hard to ensure you get what you deserve from the insurance companies..
Hater Proof
Montlick and Associates are awesome lawyers and staff. I was injured in a car accident several months ago, and I contacted Montlick to handle my case. Mrs. Sarah Neeland, my attorney,and Mr. Mario Gomez worked with me diligently until my case was settled. I was always given updates on my case status. I highly recommend this law firm if you want caring and very professional service.
Celia Adams
Nick and Montlick and associates were great. They walked me through each step of the case and were very informative with every question I asked. Hopefully I’m never in an accident where I get hurt, but if I am, I will definitely be in contact with Montlick and Associates!

Montlick and Associates were very positively instrumental in getting my life back together after a very irresponsible person totalled my brand new car. Talk about satisfaction! Thank you Nick, my lawyer who stood by my side during the entire process. I would recommend them to anybody that needed true professionals to help them out of a car accident nightmare.
I feel so thankful to have found these lawyers. They made the entire process very easy and made sure my husband and I were taken care of after a car accident. I highly recommend!

Albany, GA Elder Abuse Injury Lawyers

Getting Your Questions Answered

Some cases of abuse will be harder to recognize as they don’t leave physical marks. Pay close attention to the behavior and mental state of your loved ones as it will help you determine if something is wrong. If you suspect abuse, contact a qualified attorney immediately.

Concerns regarding nursing home abuse should be met with cooperation from staff. If you’re met with any resistance at all, it’s time to get an experienced attorney involved. Montlick’s highly-skilled lawyers will fight for you to make sure nothing is missed in your case.

Nursing homes should closely monitor staff to prevent abuse. If they’ve slipped up, let us help to hold them accountable.

It Happens More Than You Think.

Physical Abuse

According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), one in five nursing home residents will experience abuse.

Psychological Abuse

According to a study completed by the National Center on Elder Abuse, psychological and emotional abuse occurs in over 33% in institutional centers.

Financial Abuse

Some nursing home staffers have even been caught pressuring residents to sign over their financial accounts; this is known as an abuse of power of attorney. It’s reported that a whopping $2.6 billion each year is lost due to financial abuse.

Nursing home abuse incidents rob seniors of their dignity, security, and trust. The attorneys at Montlick will fight to ensure you or your loved ones receive fair compensation for what you have endured.

Suspect Abuse? Here’s What to Look For.

It is important that you and your family learn the types of nursing home abuse that can occur so that you can be on the lookout for its signs. Common forms of nursing home abuse include, among others:

Neglect: Neglect is the most common and most undetectable form of nursing home abuse. It encompasses the failure of caregivers to meet the nursing home residents’ basic needs, including the provision of food, fluids, safe shelter, exercise, medication, and security. Neglect is the most difficult form of abuse to identify because it often does leave clear physical signs.

Physical abuse: Physical abuse of a resident involves the infliction of injuries or the threat of inflicting physical harm. Common types of physical abuse include shoving, hitting, using excessive restraints, withholding food or water as punishment, and others.

Over medicating: Many nursing home residents will take prescription medications to assist in ailments. Some residents are prescribed medication with tranquilizing effects to help with the anxiety and stress associated with aging and memory loss. Residents’ prescription intake must be closely monitored but unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for staff to overmedicate residents to make them more manageable.

Psychological/emotional abuse: This form of abuse encompasses the intentional infliction of emotional distress upon residents using verbal or non-verbal means. This could include cruel statements made to residents, ignoring or isolating behaviors, and more. Like neglect, this can be a difficult form of abuse to identify.

Financial abuse: Nursing home staff members have stolen residents’ possessions, cash, credit cards, and other valuables. There are even instances of staff pressuring residents into signing over their bank accounts or changing their wills.

It’s important to know the warning signs to stop abuse in its tracks. Nursing home abuse can look like:

  • Bedsores
  • Bruises, cuts, or infections that can’t be explained
  • Malnutrition or dehydration
  • Poor hygiene
  • Anxiety or irritability
  • Fear of a specific staff member
  • Broken bones from a slip or fall
  • Missing daily living aids (ie; glasses, cane, wheelchair, etc.)
  • Unattended medical needs
  • Isolation from loved ones
  • Unusual behavior or sleep changes
  • Withdrawal from normal activities
  • Unpaid bills and fraudulent signatures
  • Sudden or unusual changes in spending patterns

If you recognize any of the listed conditions, don’t wait. Take action immediately.

If your loved one has suffered from nursing home abuse in Albany or been neglected in a care facility, call 1-404-529-6333 or dial #WIN® (#946) from your mobile phone.
