Sexual Abuse in Nursing Homes

Columbus Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Protecting Your Rights

Nursing home abuse is a horrific epidemic sweeping the nation, as countless residents of nursing homes are subjected to this traumatic form of exploitation. Sexual abuse constitutes any kind of sexual contact or touching which is unwarranted, unwanted, and otherwise occurs by some form of force. One of the most disturbing forms of mistreatment, sexual abuse, happens to both men and women

Abusers take advantage of the situation, often abusing patients who are disabled and thus unable to properly speak up or defend themselves. Our Columbus sexual abuse lawyers at Rourke & Blumenthal have a long history of pursuing justice in these types of cases, and we are aggressive and relentless in our approach to hold the responsible parties accountable for their horrendous actions.

The following are common signs of nursing home sexual abuse, including, but not limited to:

  • Emotional withdrawal
  • Agitation, anxiety, or depression
  • Difficulty moving or walking
  • Genital bleeding
  • A sudden STD
  • Genital irritation
  • Torn clothing
  • Bruising
  • Paranoia
  • Insomnia

The above signs need to be investigated immediately, as they could be an indication of sexual abuse that your elderly loved one is fearful to speak up about. Our legal team can help conduct a proper investigation to ensure your elderly loved one is not being abused or taken advantage of in their fragile and weak state.

    "You NEED attorneys who are experienced in TBI cases."
    Wonderful firm! We have worked with other attorneys in the past and Mike and Tim blew us away. If you have a brain injury in the State of Ohio, you NEED attorneys who are experienced in TBI cases, not just motor vehicle accidents or other personal injury matters. It makes a huge difference having an attorney who understands the medical, emotional, and financial issues a family suffers after a TBI. They are professional, compassionate, and great communicators. I would recommend this office to anyone.

    "Attorney Stoudt is the best lawyer I've ever worked with."
    Attorney Jon Stoudt is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. He did everything he could to help me. From the start, Jon was very responsive and always explained everything in terms I could easily understand. Jon's staff was also kind and responsive. I highly recommend Jon and would use him again in the future. Several months after being done with my case, another lawyer, handling a different part of the case, commented on how well Jon handled my civil suit.

    "Mr. Rourke and his team were extremely compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly"
    From the very beginning and to the very end of a long process, Mr. Rourke and his team were extremely compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly. I found them to be honest and easy to communicate with, day or night, weekday or weekend. Mr. Rourke was always professional but at the same time made you feel important and took as much time that was needed to explain the many steps in this process. Everyone of his team were very respectful and caring of everyone in my family involved in our case. I will have an admiration for Mr. Rourke and his team for the remainder of my life.

    "I always felt that he had my best interests as the top priority."
    Mr Timothy Mahler represented me after a personal injury auto accident. He was professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and experienced. I always felt that he had my best interests as the top priority. I was relieved from the intricate and time-consuming tasks related to the accident, free to focus on healing and recovery. He managed the complicated insurance and settlement to the best outcome. His team always treated me with respect. I would highly recommend Mr Mahler and his team. Thank you.

    "I will forever be grateful for their help!"
    I suffered physical injuries and a concussion from an auto accident in December of 2020. The team, from receptionist to attorneys, were nothing less than stellar, professional, kind, and hard working. The accident and aftermath were extremely stressful; but the Rourkes, Michael Senior and Michael Junior, helped me navigate the process while I focused on healing. For me, recovery from the accident was the most important part of the process. While I worked on recovering, Rourke and Blumenthal worked on negotiating a fantastic settlement for me. I will forever be grateful for their help!

    Our family is so grateful to have Rob Miller represent my daughter’s personal injury case. He is extremely knowledgeable about Ohio Law and was very patient with my numerous questions. Rob was always genuinely concerned about my daughter’s recovery and well being first.
