Jacobs Law LLC in Muncie and Indianapolis
What could be more devastating than learning your loved one has been neglected or abused by nursing home employees; the very people you trusted to provide care? Nursing home residents are extremely vulnerable and dependant on their care givers. There must be consequences for those who exploit patient vulnerability.
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities have a legal responsibility to care for their residents properly and safely. When they neglect that responsibility, we can help.
If you or a loved one has suffered from nursing home abuse or assisted living negligence, please contact the nursing home injury attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC. We have more than 25 years of experience helping victims of nursing home injury, abuse, and neglect recover the financial settlements they deserve. We'd like to help you, too.
Filing a nursing home injury lawsuit can be the first step to compensate your loved one for his or her injury. It can also help other people by encouraging all nursing homes and assisted living facilities to care for their residents properly.
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, nursing home abuse can take many forms:
- Assault
- Battery
- Sexual Assault
- Sexual Battery
- Rape
- Unreasonable Physical Restraint
- Deprivation of Food or Water
- Physical or Chemical Restraint or Medication Not Consistent With that Authorized by the Physician
Nursing home neglect can include the following:
- Disregard for the Necessities of Daily Living
- Lack of Care for Existing Medical Problems

- Failure to Assist in Personal Hygiene
- Failure to Provide Food, Clothing, or Shelter
- Unsanitary and Unclean Conditions

We hope you enjoy your stay in Indianapolis for the 2012 Super Bowl. While you visit our city, there will be LOTS to do and see -- but -- please be careful! Accidents can happen at the most unexpected times and places. Car accidents caused by drunk drivers (or drivers who disobey Indiana's law against texting while driving!), trips or slip and fall accidents in hotels, bars, and restaurants--- are just a few of the unfortunate accidents that can occur at any time, and personal injury risks go up whenever you throw alcohol into the mix! Wherever there are big crowds, people can get injured. The attorneys at Jacobs Law LLC have represented many out-of-state visitors to our city, and have handled cases involving some of Indiana's biggest venues, including Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse), the Indiana Convention Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center (now Klipsch Music Center), and the Pepsi Coliseum. If you receive injuries because of someone else's carelessness during your stay in our city, we'd like to help. We wish you a safe and fun-filled Super Bowl experience, and we will be here for you if the unexpected happens.
