We’re Here To Help
When a parent or grandparent is no longer able to care for themselves, it may be necessary to trust their care to qualified professionals at a nursing home facility. While some facilities provide a safe and caring environment, far too many do not. If you suspect your loved one has been abused or neglected in a nursing home, contact us right away.
Seniors deserve to live with dignity and respect, and we fight to hold abusive caregivers and negligent facilities accountable.
Filing A Claim For Elder Abuse & Neglect
In Nevada, you typically must file a lawsuit within two years from the date of injury or date the injury should have been discovered. This can be challenging because abuse can be hard to detect.
We understand the challenges that come with filing an elder abuse lawsuit, and are here to answer any questions and guide you through the process.
What To Do After
Take these steps if a loved one has experienced elder abuse & neglect:
Call 911
Responders will secure the area, control the situation, and prepare an official report, ensuring proper documentation for any necessary follow-up.
Save All Evidence
Take photo and video of the scene. Store reports, important items, and any records securely so nothing useful to your case is lost or misplaced.
Seek Medical Attention
A prompt exam can uncover unseen injuries and create important documentation for your claim
Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions
Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and participate in any necessary therapies.
Report the Accident
If the incident occurred in public, notify nearby people, business owners, or file an incident report.
Contact a Lawyer
Do not wait to get the legal advice you need. We can start investigating the accident, preserving evidence, and protecting you from day one.
Journal
Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process.
Limit Social Media
Refrain from posting about your incident—anything posted online could impact your claim.
How To Report Elder Abuse & Neglect
Whether or not you know someone who has experienced elder abuse, if you suspect neglect or abuse in a nursing home, you should file a complaint with the Nevada Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance.
- Filing a complaint online
- Mailing or faxing a printed complaint form
- Calling the complaint hotline at (702) 668-3250
Should I File A Complaint Anywhere Else?
The Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division also takes reports of vulnerable adult abuse through its Adult Protective Services program. This program covers everyone 60 years and older along with other vulnerable people who are over the age of 18. To report suspected abuse, neglect, or other elder care issues:
- Call (702) 486-6930 in Las Vegas/Clark County
- Call (888) 729-0571 from anywhere in the state of Nevada
Nursing home regulations in Nevada exist to protect vulnerable adults. If you suspect abuse, report it and get in touch with an elder abuse lawyer in Nevada. At Sam & Ash Injury Law, our compassionate advocates can answer your questions about bringing an elder abuse claim and explain what to expect next.

What are some warning signs of elder abuse or neglect in nursing homes?

- Malnourishment and dehydration
- Poor hygiene and care
- Lack of medical care
- Inadequate or incorrect medications
- Injuries such as bruises that mysteriously appear

Are there age requirements for elder abuse?
In Nevada elder law, the mistreatment of someone 60 years or older is considered elder abuse. While it is unacceptable to cause anyone harm, there are special rules that apply when the elderly are victimized by those entrusted with their care.
How do I know if I have an elder abuse claim?
Elder abuse claims can be challenging to navigate. We can review your case and help you understand your family’s rights and legal options. While not every injury, bedsore, or other sign is a guaranteed indicator of abuse, it is vital to stay vigilant and contact an attorney right away if you suspect abuse.
Will my abuser know I am seeking help?
When you talk with us, your discussions are completely confidential. We will determine the right course of action to put an immediate stop to the abuse. We are fully committed to doing everything in our power to protect you and hold the at-fault party accountable.
