Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Charleston, SC

Seek Justice for Your Loved One with Sanders Law Firm, LLC

At Sanders Law Firm, LLC, we represent families and individuals who have been victimized by nursing home abuse and neglect. Placing your loved one in a nursing home or assisted-living facility is an emotional decision. You may feel guilty about the decision.  Because the elderly are often defenseless, it is imperative that proper care, proper treatment, improved quality of life and respect are provided by the nursing home. When this trust is breached, your loved one may be injured or killed by neglect.

Our experienced nursing home abuse attorney in Charleston understands the operational challenges of nursing homes and assisted-living facilities. Often, we find these facilities to be understaffed, and their care providers are not always properly trained. If your loved one has been harmed or killed by neglect, we know how to identify the factors which led to their injury or death and to present a compelling case.

It is possible to have the last word in these matters. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with Attorney T.O. Sanders.
