Elder abuse claims under California and federal law include the right to recover for pre-death pain and suffering, punitive damages, medical expenses, wrongful death damages and several types of financial penalties. The rules and procedures protect victims through a variety of enhanced remedies. Most claims against nursing homes in California begin with a complaint to the Department of Health Care Services which regulates care centers. They often assess stiff penalties for mistreatment and their investigation files are priceless. However, their investigation may linger for months or even years. Obtaining the services of an attorney at an early stage can assist the state to come to a correct result and prod them to a more timely result.
