When a loved one is under the care of a nursing home or long-term care facility, we trust that the doctors and staff will provide our loved ones with the level of care and respect they deserve. And, in fact, nursing homes and other similar facilities have a legal responsibility to properly care for their residents. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen.
Though we don’t like to think about it, as it is one of the most horrifying things to imagine, elder abuse and neglect happens all the time in nursing homes and long-term care facilities throughout the United States. It’s a devastating fact, and one that victims and their families do not have to simply accept. If you or your elderly loved one was the victim of nursing home negligence, you can file a personal injury (or wrongful death) claim and seek justice and fair compensation.
Our Billings nursing home abuse attorneys can help. We understand just how devastating it is to learn that your elderly loved one was treated improperly or even abused at the hands of trusted caretakers. Our team works quickly to gather information and investigate your claim in order to build a swift, powerful case in support of your claims.
Nursing home abuse and neglect takes many forms; it can be physical, sexual, emotional, or even financial in nature. Unfortunately, many elderly victims are unable or unwilling to speak up for themselves. In some cases, due to illness or other reasons, they may not even be aware that abuse or neglect are occurring. Because of this, it is extremely important that you are able to recognize signs that something is not right so that you can report and put an end to the abuse/neglect immediately.
Some of the most common signs of nursing home abuse and neglect include:
If you notice these or other signs that something is “off,” it is always best to err on the side of caution. Report suspected abuse to the nursing home administrator or to your loved one’s doctor. If you believe your loved one is in immediate and imminent danger, contact 9-1-1 and consider removing your loved one from the home.
Making the decision to place an elderly loved one into a nursing home or care facility is not easy. Knowing that your loved one could be at risk of elder abuse or neglect certainly does not make the process any easier. But it’s important to remember that many nursing homes and similar facilities throughout the U.S. provide wonderful care to their residents.
When choosing a nursing home, it’s important to read reviews and visit the home yourself. Always see the home in person, if possible, as this is one of the best ways to get an idea of what type of facility it is and what level of care they provide.
When visiting a home, look at the following things:
Do not be afraid to ask staff any and all questions you have. Take note of how they respond—do they seem willing to answer your questions or are they evasive? Are they happy to show you around, or is the tour limited? Has the home ever been reported? All of these and other factors are important in selecting the right nursing home or long-term care facility.
Of course, it isn’t always possible to predict when a home will fail to provide adequate and proper care. If you suspect your elderly loved one may be the victim of abuse or neglect, contact the proper authorities right away and report the abuse. If necessary, you may want to move your loved one from the home in order to protect their safety and well-being.
Next, contact an experienced nursing home negligence lawyer in Billings. An attorney can help you understand your legal options and determine if you have grounds to bring a claim. While nothing can undo the trauma that you and/or your loved one has been through, a claim can provide a sense of justice and compensate you for medical bills and other damages.

I was hit on my MOTORCYCLE by a PODS TRUCK in June, yep, you read that right, PODS TRUCK. I was fortunate to walk away, but knew I needed a lawyer for an accident of this magnitude. Now, let me start by saying I don’t trust lawyers, never have. But had to put my differences aside and trust this GROUP of LAWYERS from a different state to handle my affairs. RIGHT AWAY, from the beginning, MARISSA REED, WAS A ROCKSTAR!!! Made me feel at ease and answered all of my ridiculous questions like a VETERAN. Now, this has taken almost 9 months to complete, and it was well worth the wait. Marissa Reed took my settlement to a PLACE WHERE ONLY EAGLES SOAR BABY!! I GOT WAAAAY MORE than expected all thanks to the LOWE LAW GROUP AND FIERY MARISSA REED. Thank you Marissa, for ALL YOU DID FOR ME, AND ALL MY STUPID QUESTIONS. I’m alive, have a HEFTY settlement to spend and am more than thankful for these LAWYERS!! MY ATTITUDE HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER ON THEM! HELL YA!!

I was hit by a trailer that crossed the median while I was driving on the highway which not only destroyed my car, but I have had to deal with a concussion, neck and back pain along with other PTSD issues. Life happens, some events alter your life, and it can be difficult to adjust. Lowe Law Group is the absolute best. If you want someone who’s gonna be in your corner and help you out big time. I HIGHLY recommend them. They made it so much easier, and they don’t care just about money. They want you to be able to get the help you need to recover. Specifically, James Brandenburg has been so helpful and relatable. Where other companies have made me feel just like a number, he has made me feel like a friend.

I was in my car waiting at a stoplight when I was rear ended hitting my head, giving me whiplash, and a concussion. It also reaggravated other injuries I was making progress on. Cyra at Lowe Law Group was great jumping right into my case. She was professional and did well in keeping me informed of the process and updating me as needed. There were some challenges in dealing with the culpable party but Lowe Law I believe was able to get me the best settlement possible given all the circumstances and would recommend to anyone who has been involved in an accident.

I cannot say enough, good things about Heather at Lowe Law Group! From the very beginning, she was a beacon of kindness, compassion, and professionalism. She truly cares about her clients, and her empathy shines through in every interaction. Heather made a potentially overwhelming process feel effortless, guiding me with such care and attention to detail that I always felt completely supported and understood. It’s rare to meet somebody who combines such warmth with incredible expertise, but Heather doesn’t flawlessly. She’s truly a gem, and I am beyond grateful for everything she has done!

After one of the worst things that has happened to my daughter or me, Harmony was able help me work through it in every aspect I needed. From the first day we spoke she worked was so kind, honest and she worked hard for us and went above and beyond. Giving me space when I needed it encouraged me to talk when I needed to. She helped me get medical information, check out the boxes of requirements, find a counselor, and More behind-the-scenes I don’t even know about. I NEVER FELT ALONE, it stopped being my battle and it became her’s.This whole process took maybe five months and at the beginning I guessed this would be over one year. I really appreciate her and because of her work! If I ever meet someone who has an unfortunate accident, I will give them the contact information for Lowe Law Group and song their/ Harmony’s praises! THANK YOU HARMONY!

Being in a car accident and dealing with everything from the car damage to the injuries and everything in between is very stressful. I am so grateful for everyone at Lowe Law for helping me every step of the way. Kaitlyn kept me updated on the progress of the case and answered all the questions I had. Jason and Pete are very knowledgeable and explained each step and helped guide me throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has been in a car accident.
Thanks to Ethan for his gentle persuasion and persistent efforts.

Thanks to Ethan for his gentle persuasion and persistent efforts. I am very grateful to have the burden shifted to the real professionals. I might even be able to ski this winter as I expect to be recovered from this accident by the time Powder Mountain has enough snow.
