Evaluate any liabilities that may exist

If nursing home abuse or neglect is an issue, a number of factors are called into question in terms of liability. Medical malpractice is the most commonly thought of, but premises liability and inadequate security are also areas of liability. If a facility’s doctor, nurse or other staff member makes a medical error when providing care to a nursing home resident, a medical malpractice case may exist. Premises liability means that a nursing home has violated its legal duty to provide the highest quality of care to a nursing home resident.

Nursing homes are responsible for inspecting the premises, discovering and attending to dangerous conditions, and are also responsible for any injuries that may occur if such conditions are not corrected and up to par. If inadequate security is the cause of an accident or injury, the nursing home is liable. Inadequate security could be interpreted to include understaffing or inattention.

Experienced nursing home abuse lawyers have unique expertise in evaluating the liabilities of nursing homes in cases of abuse or neglect. Contact a nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer immediately if you suspect that the nursing home where your loved one resides may be putting them at risk of injury or neglect.
