Protecting the Vulnerable When Care Turns to Harm
Elder & Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys in Seattle
We help families across Seattle and Washington state seek justice for elderly loved ones harmed by neglect, abuse, or exploitation in care facilities.
When Caregivers Cause Harm
Placing a loved one in a nursing home, assisted living, or long-term care facility is a decision built on trust. You expect them to be safe, supported, and treated with dignity. But when that trust is violated, through abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation, the impact is devastating.
Campiche Andrews PLLC fights for accountability when caregivers or facilities fail in their duty of care.
Common Signs of Elder Abuse & Neglect
Neglect and abuse can take many forms. We urge families to stay vigilant and take action if they notice any of the following:
Frequent or unexplained falls or fractures
Untreated pressure sores (bedsores)
Bruises or injuries with vague or changing explanations
Overmedication or sedation without cause
Signs of malnutrition or dehydration
Sudden behavioral changes (fear, withdrawal, agitation)
Unexplained bank withdrawals or missing belongings
Delayed medical care or unreported conditions
If something feels wrong, trust your instincts. These may be signs of serious abuse.

Elder & Nursing Home Abuse FAQs
What qualifies as nursing home abuse?
Nursing home abuse includes physical harm, neglect, emotional abuse, financial exploitation, or medical negligence that results in injury, illness, or emotional trauma.
What are signs my loved one may be suffering abuse or neglect?
Warning signs include unexplained injuries, frequent falls, bedsores, weight loss, dehydration, fearfulness, or withdrawal. Sudden changes in behavior or financial issues may also signal abuse.
Can I sue a nursing home for wrongful death?
Yes. If negligence or abuse led to the death of a resident, family members may pursue a wrongful death claim to seek justice and compensation.
Is financial abuse considered nursing home abuse?
Absolutely. Unauthorized use of funds, stolen valuables, or changes to legal documents may constitute financial exploitation and are grounds for legal action.
How much does it cost to hire an elder abuse attorney?
We work on a contingency fee basis — that means you pay nothing unless we win your case.
What should I do if I suspect abuse in a nursing home?
Contact our legal team immediately. We’ll help investigate, secure evidence, and take steps to protect your loved one while pursuing justice.
“They made sure I was okay before every call ended. They didn’t treat me like a case — they treated me like a person.”
