your loved on is hurt. you know something is wrong.

now what?

Families usually call after seeing something they cannot ignore anymore: bruises with no explanation, bedsores that should never have happened, rapid weight loss, fear around staff, dirty conditions, missing medication, or a parent who suddenly stops talking. California APS identifies warning signs such as inconsistent explanations for injuries, confusion, aggressive caregivers, missing belongings, and an elder who seems afraid to speak openly.

The hardest part is that abuse and neglect are often disguised as aging, dementia, or unavoidable decline. Injury R Us helps families slow the chaos down, protect the victim, document the truth, and start building a case before records disappear and stories start changing.

0

Emergency Safety First

If your loved one is in immediate danger, get them to safety and seek emergency medical care right away. Immediate treatment protects health and creates critical evidence of harm.

0

Evidence Matters

Photos, videos, medical charts, staffing records, medication logs, and witness statements can make or break an elder abuse case. Abuse is often denied until the documentation tells a different story.

0

Institutions Start Defending Themselves Fast

Facilities often begin managing exposure before families even know the full story. That is why early legal intervention matters in these cases.

0

You May Have a Strong Case

If abuse, neglect, exploitation, or a care failure caused harm, your family may have the right to pursue compensation and accountability. Injury R Us can evaluate the facts quickly and honestly.
What's Next?

Suspect elder abuse or neglect? here's what to do next

The right steps can protect your loved one’s health, safety, and legal claim. Reporting suspected abuse quickly matters because California directs emergencies to 911 and routes other reports to Adult Protective Services or the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, while mandated reporters must report immediately or as soon as practicably possible.

1

document everything

Save discharge paperwork, prescriptions, test results, follow-up instructions, bills, photos, voicemails, portal messages, and names of every provider involved. Report the incident to law enforcement if appropriate, and write down what happened while it is still fresh.

2

Contact Injury R Us

Contact Injury R Us as early as possible so the insurance companies do not control the story before your side is fully documented. We know what they ask, how they frame claims, and how to stop simple mistakes from becoming expensive ones.
  • We handle reporting of your accident to the insurance companies, because anything you say can be used against you. We make sure it is done correctly.
  • We help you get into treatment and start moving toward recovery.
  • We handle vehicle repairs, property damage, rental coordination, and loss-of-use issues when they apply.

3

Get Paid / Compensated

Once the case is built properly, Injury R Us fights to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future treatment, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the financial impact this injury has created in your life.

top causes of

elder abuse & neglect

Elder abuse is rarely a random event. It often grows out of dangerous systems, careless staff, ignored complaints, and facilities that fail to provide the basic care necessary to maintain a resident’s health and safety.

0

Undertaffing

Too few trained workers means missed repositioning, ignored call lights, delayed toileting, poor supervision, and dangerous care breakdowns.

0

Medication Mistakes

Wrong dosages, skipped medications, dangerous interactions, or failure to monitor side effects can quickly become life-threatening.

0

Failure to prevent bedsore

Residents who are immobile must be repositioned and monitored. When that care is ignored, painful pressure injuries can rapidly worsen.

0

Dehydration & Malnutrition

Seniors may depend entirely on staff for food, fluids, and monitoring. Neglect here can trigger infection, confusion, weakness, and organ failure.

0

Fall Prevention

Ignoring mobility limitations, transfer needs, alarms, or supervision plans can lead to devastating fractures and head trauma.

0

Delayed Medical Response

Facilities that fail to call 911, send residents to the hospital, or act on stroke, infection, or sepsis symptoms can cause catastrophic harm.
What We Handle

common injuries

after elder abuse & neglect

Common warning signs and injuries include bruises, fractures, cuts, sprains, medication-related confusion, weight loss, dehydration, poor hygiene, untreated wounds, and pressure ulcers. Research and public guidance also identify pressure ulcers and dehydration as serious conditions associated with neglect in long-term care.

0

Bedsores / Pressure Ulcers

Often tied to poor repositioning, lack of monitoring, and delayed wound care.

0

Broken Bones

Fractures may follow falls, rough handling, or unsafe transfers.
