Do I Have a Case?
If your family member or loved one has been abused, the care facility or nursing home has a responsibility to pay for their neglect. These lawsuits have serious consequences, acting as a way to compensate the patient and their family for injuries, while showing other facilities that they must also improve their level of care.
Signs of elder abuse and neglect might include:
- Unexplained injuries such as bruises, cuts, or scars
- Dehydration or malnutrition
- Broken, sprained, or dislocated bones
- Drug overdoses or failure to take medication regularly
- Pressure sores
- Signs of restraint or force
- Refusal to allow you to see the patient alone
- Poor hygiene
There are many factors that can lead to elder abuse, including an understaffed facility, lack of supervision, careless mistakes, or improper record keeping and patient screening. Neglect of this kind can lead to emotional or physical pain and suffering for both the patient and their families.

"Thank you Christian. And to the staff, thank you All for always being such a pleasure. You are such a wonderful Team."Christian Scott came highly recommended. From our first consultation together back in 2019 I knew I would be in good hands. It has been a long journey together. Despite all the difficulties and never ending battles with my case, I have always been able to trust that Mr. Scott has and continues to do what is in the best interest of my case. He has always listened, takes into consideration what I've presented, yet still offers his own recommendations and guidance that is based on his many years of experience. Offering his open, fair, honest and genuine realistic input has been been like having a family member fight for you when you have needed it in the lowest times of your life.Cynthia G.

"I am extremely happy with the law firm of Lavorato & Scott, my attorney is Daniel P. Bozzo and his paralegal Jana."From the moment I walked in they made me feel comfortable and safe. They consult me and I immediately happily retained their services. I was a nervous mess as I have different cases going a Restraining order/ Domestic Violence and Divorce . Both Daniel and Jana kept reassuring me that things will be okay and to confide in them. I had to get a little lecture , but that’s ok as I needed it...They really now what they are doing. We have recently gone to our first court hearing and I’m HAPPY of how things are turning out. Patience is a virtue. And I don’t mind waiting as long as things are handled appropriately.Iris G.

"When I say they are the BEST, believe me they are!"Christian is the best! He helped me in a very difficult custody situation. My son was getting physically abused. It was so difficult to see the court system not trying to protect my son. But Christian never gave up and fought for my son like he was his own. I will forever be grateful to him and his Wonderful paralegal Jana. So when I say they are the BEST, believe me they are! My son is now out of harms way because of Christian never giving up. So don't waste your time on other attorneys that will not care for the BEST interest of your child. You cannot put a price on peace of mind.Angie
