Attorney Richard Mitzel Adds New Information On Nursing Home Abuse To His Website

Attorney Richard Mitzel, whose office is in Tampa, FL, has recently added additional information about nursing home abuse to his website. As a nursing home abuse attorney, he has dedicated his career to helping those who are victims of abuse. The new information that has been added shows just how widespread the issue of nursing home abuse is, and how many different forms it can take.

"The number of incidents of abuse and neglect is on the rise according to various studies," says Richard M. Mitzel. "We tend not to think about it, but sometimes the people we trust to care for the elderly are careless and sometimes even abusive. If you or a loved-one is a resident of a nursing home or assisted living facility and have been injured as a consequence of abuse or neglect, I urge you to contact me right away."

The types of nursing home abuse that have been reported are vast. They include refusal to provide the elderly with necessary medication, poor supervision, inadequate nutrition, physical and sexual assault, intimidation and threats, and unnecessary restraint that can be either physical or chemical. Unfortunately, new reports of nursing home abuse seem to be released in the news on an almost daily basis and Richard Mitzel wants to make sure that people affected by it are given the compensation they are entitled to. In so doing, he also hopes to reduce directly the number of incidences of nursing home abuse.

The services offered by the Tampa personal injury attorney have been very well-received by his many clients. "Richard Mitzel has the depth of character and high integrity you would look for when you needed the closest of friends, and is so much more comforting in your time of need because you know he is there for you legally," says Benjamin R. "I can think of no one else I would trust as much as Attorney Richard Mitzel. He has your back, period."

Mr. Mitzel has also added new information on the types of things people can claim compensation for. These include compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, disability, loss of enjoyment of life, and wrongful death. Nursing home abuse cases are incredibly delicate cases due to the vulnerable nature of the patients. Unfortunately, the elderly who live in nursing homes are often also socially isolated, which means they are easy to target for abuse. He hopes that his tireless campaigning will help in reducing the number of people who suffer in their old age.
