Advice from a Nursing Home Injury Lawyer in Cleveland: Get Proof on Camera

Do you suspect your family member may be the victim of nursing home abuse yet lack the evidence to take legal action? Nursing home injury lawyers in Cleveland have found getting the proof on camera to be very valuable.

Earlier this year, the family of a Hopkins nursing home resident  set up their own hidden camera after finding unexplained bruises on their mother, according to ABC Eyewitness News. The video revealed an aide hitting the woman in the head repeatedly while brushing her hair, and even pulling the woman up from the floor by her hair.

“The woman, identified as Cecilia Chebii Soi of Hopkins, has been charged with two counts of assault,” ABC News reported. “…Glenn Hopkins administrator Lori McGuire says the aide was fired and the facility is reviewing its hiring, training and supervisory practices.

“If convicted, Soi faces up to one year in prison and $3,000 in fines on the fourth-degree assault charge and up to 90 days in prison and $1,000 in fines on the fifth-degree assault charge.”

Surveillance technology has become very affordable these days. A camera the size of a ball point pen can be purchased for as little as $30. That’s an inexpensive technology that could provide your nursing home injury lawyer in Cleveland the critical evidence they need to build a case and protect your loved one.
