WRONGFUL DEATH RESULTING FROM NURSING HOME NEGLECT
Any preventable death is a tragic event. When the preventable death happens in a facility that is specifically designed to keep your loved one safe and secure, it is especially horrific.
Legal Duty of Nursing Home Facilities
Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Retirement Communities, and Long-Term Care Centers have a legal duty to provide the required standard of care. When willful or abuse or neglect leads to the untimely death of an individual in one of these facilities, they should be held accountable using every available resource under the law.
Bringing a Nursing Home Neglect Wrongful Death Legal Claim
Surviving family members may seek justice in the form of civil litigation for the unnecessary and untimely death of their loved one. In addition, those responsible may also face criminal charges as well.
In all wrongful death cases, personal injury attorneys must prove that the defendant owed the victim a duty of care. Then they must prove that the defendant, in this case – a nursing home – breached their duty of care to the resident. This breach of duty was the cause of injury (physical, mental or financial) or death of the resident and caused the resident to suffer damages as a result of the breach.
