Riverside Home Health Care Negligence Attorney

Vulnerable Elderly Adults

Most of us, after living in the same home for many years, become attached to the place and to the independence that it provides. For this reason, many elderly people want to remain in their homes, rather than move to a separate elder care facility, for as long as possible. Elderly residents who stay in their homes and receive home health care services can be just as vulnerable to neglect, abuse and exploitation as nursing home or assisted living residents.

At Fernandez & Lauby LLP, we have a wealth of experience helping elderly clients and their families seek justice and compensation for elder abuse, neglect and financial exploitation. Our Irvine home health care negligence lawyers will take the time to listen to your situation, advise you as to your rights and options, and fight for the best outcome in your case.

The Risks Involved With Homes Health Care

Many of the risks are the same — sometimes even greater — in the home health care contexts; risks like:

Because the care providers are right in your home, they have greater access to financial information, cash money and other valuables. Further, home health care recipients have less protection against scams and undue influence from outsiders and family members than they normally would in a nursing home.

In terms of physical abuse and neglect, there are fewer witnesses and less supervision in someone's home compared to in a nursing home or assisted living facility context. There are fewer people to see signs of neglect or elder abuse, like pressure ulcers, malnutrition and dehydration.

 A Peer Review of Mr. Edward A. Fernandez's Mediation Services by Filippo Marchino, Esq.:

"What most know is that Mr. Fernandez is a member of the panel for the Redlands Arbitration and Mediation Services, as well as the Inland Valley Justice Center. What most don't know is that Mr. Fernandez spent 5 months resolving a case that nobody (not even the parties) believed could actually be resolved short of a trial on the merits. In a case of complex construction defect, involving complex and detailed matters, Mr. Fernandez skillfully navigated each and every matter, resulting is a win-win situation for both parties, one of which I represented. Can't honestly say how appreciative of his hard work we all are. Hence, it is with no hesitation that I fully endorse Mr. Fernandez!"

A recent client review for Mr. Edward A. Fernandez:

As a principle of ClaimQuest, Inc., a Third Party Administration company, it is my duty to obtain the best legal counsel possible for me clients. It is important to note that my decision on counsel directly reflects on me and my company. My clients and I do not want excuses, we seek cost effective results. Mr Fernandez, his law firm, and associates have a long and proven track record for achieving positive cost effective results many of his peers only talk about.

Mr. Fernandez demonstrates excellent legal skills which are a great asset but it is not the only talent you should seek from your legal council. In addition, he also has a reputation of being a hard, yet fair negotiator which has earned him the respect of his peers and the courts. This blend of rare talents has given Mr. Fernandez the opportunity to obtain the most favorable results while significantly reducing needless time consuming litigation costs in many cases.

In my 30 years of being in this business I have never given my endorsement to any attorneys' before Mr. Fernandez, I can say with confidence that Mr. Fernandez has set the standard for our office and many other associates I do business with.
