Our Oklahoma Nursing Home Sexual Abuse Services

Sexual abuse in nursing homes is a serious violation of trust and safety. Tragically, these incidents often go unnoticed or unreported, leaving vulnerable residents without a voice. At Koller Baker & Associates, we’re committed to standing up for victims and their families, ensuring accountability and justice.

What Is Nursing Home Sexual Abuse?

This type of abuse involves any unwanted sexual conduct directed at a nursing home resident. It can include inappropriate touching, coercion, or more severe acts. Victims are often unable to report the abuse due to physical or cognitive limitations, which makes it essential for families to be vigilant and proactive in seeking help

How Koller Baker & Associates Can Help

When sexual abuse occurs at a school, more than just the perpetrator may be responsible. If teachers, staff, or anyone involved at the institution allowed the abuse to take place, they can also be held liable. Potential defendants in these cases can include:

Recognizing the Abuse: Many victims of nursing home sexual abuse cannot communicate what has happened to them due to cognitive or physical impairments. Families often notice changes like unexplained injuries, sudden fearfulness, or avoidance of certain staff. Recognizing these signs is often the first step toward taking action.
Reporting the Abuse: Once abuse is suspected, it’s important to notify the nursing home and file a formal complaint with the appropriate authorities. This can include Adult Protective Services, state licensing boards, or law enforcement.
Gathering Evidence: Evidence is critical in these cases. This might involve collecting medical records, interviewing witnesses, reviewing facility reports, and identifying patterns of negligence or misconduct. Our team will take the lead on this, ensuring no stone is left unturned.
Holding the Nursing Home Accountable: Facilities can be held liable if they failed to properly vet staff, ignored complaints, or lacked adequate supervision. We’ll build a strong case to demonstrate how the nursing home’s negligence contributed to the abuse.
Seeking Justice for the Victim: These cases are about more than financial compensation—they’re about restoring dignity and safety for victims and ensuring accountability to prevent future harm. Whether through settlement negotiations or going to court, we’ll fight to achieve the best possible outcome for your family.

We approach every case with care and professionalism. Our team understands the sensitivity of these matters and works tirelessly to protect victims’ rights and restore a sense of safety and dignity.
