Speak to a Lawyer Now

If you believe a loved one has been harmed in a nursing home, assisted living facility, or long-term care facility, you may have grounds for a nursing home abuse or neglect claim.


At Dunaway Law Firm, we represent families in Anderson, Greenville, and throughout the Upstate of South Carolina in cases involving nursing home abuse, elder neglect, and facility negligence.


Whether the issue involves bedsores, falls, dehydration, medication errors, or wrongful death, our role is to investigate what happened and help families understand their legal options.


What Is Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect?


Nursing home abuse and neglect occur when a facility or caregiver fails to provide the standard of care required to protect a resident’s health and safety.


This may include:

  • Physical abuse (hitting, rough handling, restraints)
  • Neglect (failure to provide food, water, hygiene, or medical care)
  • Emotional or psychological abuse
  • Medication errors or improper supervision
  • Failure to prevent avoidable injuries


Many cases involve systemic issues, such as understaffing or lack of training, rather than a single isolated incident.


If you’re unsure where to start, read our guide on what to do if you suspect nursing home abuse.


If you suspect nursing home abuse or neglect, taking action early can help:


  • Preserve critical evidence
  • Protect your loved one from further harm
  • Clarify whether a legal claim may exist


You do not need to have all the answers before speaking with a lawyer.

Had run into some trouble back in November and spent the night in jail. Katherine Meece went above and beyond for me. She stayed in contact, got a bail bond for me and eventually got my charge dropped. No court needed. I 10/10 recommend her to use in any trouble you may run into in the future. Thank you so much of all you have done!! I couldn't be more happy with the outcome and professionalism here.

Field and his team are exemplary, and worked tirelessly to ensure justice for our child. Field made sure we were updated on what was going on behind the scenes and took the time to explain each and every step in the process; he was available for every phone call and email, and was even at hearings and various court proceedings where he was not required to be so he could make sure we knew what was happening and to advocate for us. Field, Eugenia, Kathy, Laura, and Elizabeth: thank you for everything you’ve done for our family, we are so grateful.

Dunaway Law sets the pinnacle of excellence in legal representation. Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to their clients, they consistently strive to secure rightful outcomes. Several months ago, Dunaway Law undertook my father's case with remarkable dedication, channeling their efforts tirelessly to ensure not only the comprehensive coverage of his medical expenses but also the just compensation for the incurred damages. Their meticulous approach and compassionate advocacy truly exemplify their pursuit of unparalleled legal standards.

My family and I experienced an extreme hardship. This law firm was one I did not see on a commercial, or her to catchy song for on the radio. It was strict word of mouth and friend recommendations. I decided to go with them for the fact that they seemed sincere. In time they proved just that. This law firm is filled with genuine people that actually care about your hardships. They're easy to get a hold of and return calls quickly. Sometimes the unknown in the waiting in life can be the hardest things and this law firm will help walk you through those and make it a little easier. From me to you Dunaway Law Firm, thank you!

We had such a great experience with this firm that when my family member was rear-ended on the interstate we again chose this law firm without question and received the reimbursements, care, and comfort we needed from that collision. Again, thanks Dunaway team!
