Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is more common than most people realize. Data from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services reports that there were over 5,000 incidents of reported elder abuse in 2022. This includes financial exploitation, emotional abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse.
Of the cases reported, over 400 incidents occurred in nursing homes. This data is troubling on its own. However, it’s made worse by the reality that nursing home abuse is historically underreported.

One of the particularly heartbreaking aspects of nursing home abuse is how often it goes unreported. In some cases, victims are not able to communicate what is happening.
In others, they’re too ashamed or embarrassed to tell anyone about the abuse. And in some instances, victims report the abuse, but they’re not taken seriously. This happens frequently when a resident has a history of confusion or cognitive impairment.
If you’re concerned that your loved one is being abused, be proactive about investigating the case and taking action to ensure they’re protected.

Calculating damages in nursing home abuse cases is tricky. That said, victims and their families can demand compensatory damages from liable parties. Compensatory damages are used to make victims whole after an accident.
There are two types of compensatory damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages compensate victims for tangible financial losses.
Common examples of economic losses are:
Non-economic damages are more abstract and compensate victims for personal or non-financial losses. They can be difficult to calculate.
Some common types of non-economic damages include:
In rare cases, punitive damages can also be awarded. Our team will evaluate your case and identify all damages you’re entitled to. We’ll gather evidence and build a strong case to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
In Wisconsin, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years. This means you have three years from the abuse date to file a lawsuit against the responsible parties. While there are some exceptions to this rule, three years is the statutory period in most cases.
After the statute of limitations has expired, victims have no right to recover compensation from the liable parties. Investigating a case, gathering evidence, and filing a claim can take time. Contact a Madison personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.
