We pursue justice for victims and peace of mind for families who simply want answers and change.
Understanding nursing home abuse in Louisiana
Why neglect happens in nursing homes
Understaffing and poor training often lead to serious harm — patients left unattended, medications missed, and safety ignored. We hold both employees and facility owners accountable for creating unsafe conditions.
How Louisiana law protects nursing home residents
State law requires nursing homes to provide adequate care and report any abuse. We use investigation reports, inspection findings, and witness testimony to build strong claims that expose wrongdoing.
How we uncover the truth
Our team reviews medical records, interviews staff and residents, and examines facility conditions. As former state defense counsel, Gerald Hampton understands how institutions defend themselves — and how to break through their excuses.
When neglect turns deadly
If abuse or negligence leads to a resident’s death, families can pursue justice through a
wrongful death claim. We help guide that process with compassion and determination.
