What types of mistreatment constitute elder abuse in Hawaii?

Hawaii nursing home abuse ranges widely from violent, physical behavior to more nuanced psychological mistreatment or manipulation. Any time an older adult (age 65+) in Hawaii experiences fear, pain, or suffering as a result of mistreatment or neglect, this can be defined as elder abuse in Hawaii.

Why should I file a Hawaii nursing home lawsuit instead of a complaint against the caregiver?

Filing an internal complaint against a caregiver has its place, but it puts a bandaid on a much bigger problem. It is the primary responsibility of Hawaii nursing homes to provide excellent care. When a residential facility focuses on profits over quality, abuse is more likely to occur. When a resident of Hawaii files a nursing home lawsuit, they can hold the company accountable for its failure to ensure a safe and quality experience. This is only means to obtain compensation for medical expenses, injuries, and suffering from Hawaii elder abuse.

Are nursing home lawsuits from Hawaii residents just class action lawsuits where the plaintiff receives very little money?

No, nursing home lawsuits from Hawaii residents will not be part of class action lawsuits. When a resident has undergone serious harm such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, or abandonment in Hawaii nursing home lawsuits may result in significant compensation for the family.

Are there time limits for filing a nursing home lawsuit or Hawaii elder abuse claim?

Most states do have time limits for nursing home abuse lawsuits; however, the majority of all Hawaii persons seeking to file a claim will fall within those time limits if they contact an attorney in the near future.
