When you place a loved one in a nursing home, you’re trusting it with their safety, dignity, and daily care. It’s a decision families make with hope and careful thought, so when that trust is broken by abuse or neglect, the emotional toll is significant.
At Tenge Law Firm LLC, we believe no family should have to accept mistreatment of an elderly parent or grandparent as “just part of aging.” Nursing homes and their corporate owners have a legal duty to provide safe, attentive care. When they fail, we step in to hold them accountable.
We are proud to announce that we now represent clients in nursing home abuse and neglect cases. From our offices in Boulder, Fort Collins, and Denver, we can help clients across the state. If your loved one has suffered harm in a long-term care facility, we’re ready to help you pursue answers and compensation.
Why Families Across Colorado Trust Us
For decades, we’ve helped injured people stand up to powerful insurance companies and corporations by utilizing our experience, resources, and tenacity. We approach nursing home abuse cases no differently. These facilities often have large parent companies, legal teams, and complex systems designed to protect themselves, not residents.
We know how to investigate injury cases, uncover evidence, and prepare strong claims against well-funded defendants while always showing every client the respect and personal attention they deserve. When you work with us, you’ll work directly with a team that listens carefully, explains your options clearly, and fights relentlessly for justice and compensation.
Some of the top reasons why people choose our attorneys include:
- We have team members who have earned recognition from Super Lawyers®, Martindale-Hubbell®, The National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40, Avvo, and more.
- We have been helping injury clients since opening our doors in 1992.
- We have won more than $75 million for our clients through successful settlements and verdicts.
- We have hundreds of 5-star reviews, including on Google.
Common Types of Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
Abuse in nursing homes isn’t always obvious. In many cases, it shows up as subtle warning signs or unexplained injuries. If something feels wrong, it’s worth taking seriously.
Some of the most common types of nursing home abuse and neglect we see in claims and lawsuits include:
- Physical abuse, such as hitting, pushing, or improper restraints
- Neglect, including dehydration, malnutrition, or untreated medical conditions
- Bedsores (pressure ulcers) caused by failing to reposition immobile residents
- Falls and fractures due to a lack of supervision or assistance
- Medication errors, including missed doses or incorrect prescriptions
- Emotional or verbal abuse, such as threats, humiliation, or isolation
- Poor hygiene or unsanitary living conditions
These issues can lead to serious complications, hospitalizations, and even wrongful death. If your loved one has unexplained bruises, sudden weight loss, infections, fearfulness around staff, or a rapid decline in health, it may be time to ask questions.
You don’t have to prove abuse before calling us, either. That’s our job.
We Can Help You Seek Accountability
Nursing home abuse cases often require in-depth investigations of all the facts and accusations. We can gather medical records, interview witnesses, review staffing levels, analyze facility policies, and identify whether the nursing home or its parent company cut corners to save money or took other missteps at the expense of resident safety.
Our goal is to pursue compensation for losses such as medical bills, pain and suffering, additional care costs, and, when applicable, wrongful death damages. Just as importantly, legal action can push facilities to change dangerous practices and protect other families from going through the same experience.
We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay us anything upfront. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
If you suspect that a nursing home harmed your loved one, trust your instincts. Waiting could allow evidence to disappear and problems to continue. Taking action now may help protect your loved one and others in the facility, so please know that Tenge Law Firm LLC is always ready to stand with you and demand accountability from any nursing home in Colorado.
