How Do You Sue a Nursing Home for Negligence?

Nursing home abuse occurs when elderly residents suffer serious harm or neglect while living in a facility. This could be:

• Physical
• Mental
• And emotional

Since many nursing homes lack the resources and oversight necessary to make sure all residents are well taken care of, such facilities are often understaffed and unable to provide quality care. On the other hand, some residents suffer harm from intentional abuse.

Common signs of nursing home abuse and neglect include:

• Bedsores
• Dehydration or malnutrition
• Lack of hygiene
• Broken or fractured bones
• Unexplained bruising or lacerations
• Infections
• Sudden or unusual changes in behavior
• Emotionally agitated or upset
• Unexplained financial transactions (i.e., financial abuse)

To succeed in a nursing home abuse lawsuit, you and your attorney must prove that:

• 1: The nursing home had a legal duty to care for your loved one
• 2: The nursing home breached this duty due to harm inflicted on your loved one either through negligence or intentional violent acts
• 3: The harm suffered by your loved one resulted in long-term or permanent injuries.

A lawsuit can be filed against staff members, the nursing home company, and/or another resident.
