Unfortunately the only thing that comes to mind, would be to hire an Attorney. Good luck, I hope you aren't suffering from the abuse you say you got, or are getting.

Tell us what happened.  Abuse is a broad term.

Hello qtarsusy,

Please go to the introduce yourself thread here:  http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0 and tell us a little about yourself, just so we can get to know you better.

As far as medical abuse, we call it malpractice here in the Unite States so you would need to contact a good Malpractice Lawyer. They can tell you if you have a case worth taking,and if you find a good Lawyer it should cost you nothing until you win your case and then they will most likely get 30% of the total received from the Doctor, clinic, or hospital.

My friend was treated in nursing home for serious injury. but when his health improved then the staff of nursing home neglected him therefore again his fall down in serious stage. does anybody there know how can i get justice?

In that nursing home there should be a poster with information about who to contact about abuse and neglect, when my father was in one in new york state they were posted in there.

I personally speak to the authority but I can't get solution. They don't want to hear anything.

The same way you get justice for anything else.

1)  You hire an attorney
2)  You pay an attorney
3)  You prove your case

the trick is is who you talk to. lawyers cost too much money. even a consult can cost way more than you'd expect.
find out who the CEO is and talk to them. when my wife's mother was in the hospital and left in the bathroom for hours, unattended, my wife was so enraged that she contacted the CEO of the hospital and that ward had a few firings soon after.

I do have to agree with LightLizard that his suggestion should absolutely be your first step.    I, personaly, am not one to talk to an attorney right off the bat.  I feel lawsuit threats and pointless suits are way out of hand.  So I will change my original answer to include:

1)  Talk to Supervisor, Upper Management, CEO's, etc. first.   If then you don't get some sort of satifactory "justice" or answers, then you need to at least consult with an attorney if you so choose to spend that money.

Because, yes, Attorneys are outrageous with their fees.  Their postage reimbursements alone can put you in the poor house!  We're living proof of that.
