If you are considering contacting an elderly sexual assault attorney because someone you love has been victimized in a nursing home, you are not alone. Close to one in 50 nursing home residents report experiencing some form of sexual assault during their time living in a facility.
This is a problem for which there is no excuse. Nursing homes have a duty to provide a safe living environment for their residents, and under no circumstances should nursing home residents ever be at risk for sexual assault.
The experienced lawyers at Boller & Vaughn have extensive experience helping victims of elderly sexual assault in Wisconsin. If you or a loved one suffered at the hands of someone at a nursing home, assisted living home, or memory care facility, we want to hear your story. We can help you pursue the justice and compensation you deserve.
Whether you are a victim of sexual assault in a nursing home or you are seeking help on behalf of a loved one, there are many ways that an experienced elderly sexual assault attorney can help. For example, at Boller & Vaughan, our attorneys assist with:
An elderly sexual assault attorney at Boller & Vaughan can assist with making sure that you or your loved one receives all necessary medical treatment.

Our attorneys can also assist with getting out of the nursing home where the sexual assault occurred. The statistics show that the issues that lead to sexual assaults in nursing homes rarely go away on their own. In fact, these issues tend to get worse before they get better. Nursing home residents should never have to live in fear that a past sexual assault may be repeated.
Along with helping you (or your loved one) get out of an abusive nursing home, we can also help with getting into a different nursing home in Wisconsin. Our attorneys can help you make an informed decision about the nursing home you choose, and we can help ensure that you understand the costs and other terms of residency.
Sexual assaults in nursing homes can leave residents and their families facing significant financial costs. Nursing homes can (and should) be held accountable for these costs—both now and in the future. An elderly sexual assault attorney at Boller & Vaughan can file a claim against the nursing home, and our team will work closely with you to ensure that we are seeking the full financial resources you and your family will need in the months and years to come.
In addition to financial costs, victims of nursing home abuse in Wisconsin are also entitled to compensation for the non-financial effects of the abuse. This includes compensation for their emotional trauma, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life. Holding nursing homes fully accountable for these costs is an important step toward making sure that they do not allow similar assaults to occur in the future.
From understanding nursing home residents’ legal rights to planning for their ongoing medical needs and ensuring that their loved ones’ financial futures are secure, there are lots of ways that an experienced elderly sexual assault attorney can assist with planning for the future. When dealing with the physical, psychological, and financial consequences of sexual assault, informed decision-making is important—and we work closely with our clients to ensure that they have all of the information they need.

If you do not receive financial compensation for any reason, you owe us nothing.

We live in Friendship, Wisconsin, and Boller & Vaughan came to our doorstep to discuss our mother’s wrongful death claim on a Saturday morning. Not only were we pleased with the large recovery, we were so thankful to have lawyers who were willing to explain to us every twist and turn along the way. It is great to know there is a law firm that will fight for the rights of elderly people all over Wisconsin.
Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan were incredible in working on my case and my daughter’s case. I was out of work and in the hospital with a new baby. Mr. Boller and Ms. Vaughan protected our rights and it was a pleasure to work with them. I hope never to be in another motor vehicle accident, however, if I am and I am injured, I will contact Boller & Vaughan immediately.
I was referred to Michelle through a friend. I have never had a better experience. It took a little over a year to get my settlement but the staff there stayed in constant contact and kept me in the loop. Oh, and Michelle actually got me MORE money than we discussed. I will refer anyone to this firm. Words cannot do justice the thanks that I have for Michelle and her staff (Mary especially) thank you guys so much!
After my husband died as a result of a motor vehicle accident, Boller & Vaughan spent countless hours talking with me, meeting with me in person, and making sure that I was okay. The drunk driver who hit us did not have any insurance, and we had to make a claim through our own insurance. Boller & Vaughan was fantastic at explaining the law to me and the handling of our claims.
After my son was injured in a daycare setting, Ms. Vaughan took the time to thoroughly investigate our case and my son’s injuries. Michele was approachable and had answers to our questions. Talking with her helped to relieve many of our anxieties.
