Wandering Off

Wandering in a Dangerous World

Arizona and Missouri Group Home Injury Lawyers

Even for people who have been blessed with the ability to take care of themselves, the world can still be a very dangerous place.

For group home residents — many of whom cannot speak for themselves nor easily recognize danger — it can be deadly.

At Knapp & Roberts, we understand that you and your family are going through a difficult time, that you may feel like you are fighting a system you cannot beat. What we'd like you to know is that we have over 17 years of experience fighting for people who cannot fight for themselves, that we can help you tell that story and that we can fight for you and for the compensation your loved one and family deserve.

We care about giving voice to those with special needs … and we can help.
Let us tell your story. Contact us online, call us locally at (480) 991-7677 or use our toll free number: (800) 541-4477.

Whenever a group home-related tragedy involving a resident wandering off unsupervised makes news, one of the first questions asked is this: "How can residents who are so completely dependent on their caregivers be allowed to go wandering off alone, away from those responsible for their safety?"

In truth, wandering off isn't something that's "allowed" — instead, it is something that happens because group homes either do not have enough staff on duty to provide the level of supervision required, or the staff are poorly trained in taking care of special needs individuals.

Our attorneys want to know what happened and understand how your loved one and family have been affected as a result. Once we gain a better understanding of how your life has changed, we will begin to collect the information and start working with experts who can help us present that story to a judge or jury in the most clear and compelling way possible.
