NURSING HOME INJURIES & NEGLIGENCE
Injuries suffered by residents of nursing homes
may be recoverable under applicable state laws
for medical malpractice. When health care
providers fail to provide treatment with a
reasonable degree of care, they may be liable
for any resulting damages. Health care providers
include the professionals and staff of nursing
homes. Because nursing home residents require
special care and attention, it is all the more
important that the nurses and staff of the
nursing home provide proper care to the
residents. If the nurses and other staff of a
nursing home abuse or neglect a patient, payment
for damages, known as recovery, may be sought by
the victim under the law of medical malpractice.
If you or someone you know reside in a nursing
home and have been injured as a result of
improper care, consultation with an attorney
knowledgeable about medical malpractice law
could help you determine if you have a valid
claim. For more information on nursing home
injuries, contact Mark Jordan Siegel &
Associates as soon as possible.
