Nursing Home Neglect
If you suspect your loved one is suffering in a long-term care facility, you need a compassionate and aggressive Burbank nursing home neglect lawyer to intervene immediately and protect their rights.
Abuse isn’t always obvious, and understaffed facilities are notorious for covering up their mistakes. Warning signs of neglect or physical abuse include unexplained bruises, frequent falls, sudden weight loss or malnutrition, poor hygiene, and dangerous bedsores (decubitus ulcers). Emotional abuse may manifest as sudden withdrawal, fear of certain staff members, or uncharacteristic agitation. If your intuition tells you something is wrong, do not ignore it.
Your absolute first priority is your loved one's safety. If they are in immediate, life-threatening danger, call 911 and have them transported to a hospital. Next, file a formal complaint with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the local long-term care ombudsman. Finally, contact the Law Office of Egishe Avetisian immediately. We will launch an independent investigation and work to secure evidence before the facility can destroy or alter their records.
This is the most common defense used by negligent care facilities. They will try to blame bedsores, severe dehydration, or catastrophic falls on your loved one’s age or pre-existing conditions. Do not take their word for it. Severe bedsores and extreme dehydration are almost always preventable and are glaring red flags for systemic neglect and chronic understaffing. We work with leading medical experts to review charting and prove when a facility has failed to meet the required standard of care.
No. Facility administrators and corporate risk managers are focused on protecting the nursing home's licensing and profit margins, not your family. They may offer a small settlement or try to trick you into signing an arbitration agreement that strips away your right to sue in court. Direct all communications to our office. We aggressively protect your family's rights and handle all negotiations, providing services fluently in English, Russian, and Armenian (Հայերեն).
California has some of the strongest elder protection laws in the country, specifically the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (EADACPA). We fight to recover compensation for your loved one's past and future medical bills, the cost of transferring them to a safe and reputable facility, and substantial damages for their physical pain, mental suffering, and loss of dignity. In cases of extreme or reckless neglect, we also pursue punitive damages to punish the facility and prevent future harm.
You should never have to worry about legal bills when trying to protect a vulnerable family member. The Law Office of Egishe Avetisian operates on a strict "No Win, No Fee" promise. You pay zero upfront costs to start your case, and we cover all the expenses required to investigate and litigate against deep-pocketed corporate nursing homes. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for your family.

Navigating the aftermath of an accident is overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with a minor injury or a life-altering event, the right legal guidance is the turning point in your recovery journey. At Law office of Egishe Avetisian, we specialize in turning the tide for our clients by securing the justice and compensation they deserve.
Insurance adjusters often call unrepresented victims in Glendale or Burbank shortly after an accident, offering a quick cash settlement. While this may seem helpful, these "lowball" offers are designed to close your case for pennies on the dollar before you even realize the full extent of your injuries.
Without a lawyer, you are often subjected to the "3 D's": Delaying your claim until you are financially desperate, Denying liability even when their driver is at fault, and Defending their bottom line at your expense. They count on your lack of legal leverage to avoid paying what is rightfully yours.
Adjusters may sound friendly, but they are trained to ask leading questions that trick you into admitting fault. In Los Angeles, these recorded statements are used later to reduce your compensation. Our office protects you by handling all communications in English, Russian, or Armenian, ensuring your words are never twisted.
We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality legal representation. Our Contingency Fee Policy (often called "No Win, No Fee") is designed to minimize your financial risk: Zero Upfront Costs: You don’t pay a dime out of pocket to start your case.
