Nursing Home Abuse Lawsuits

What Families Should Know

When a nursing home, assisted living facility, or care provider fails to protect a resident from abuse or neglect, the facility and responsible parties may be held accountable through a nursing home abuse lawsuit.

Families trust care facilities to provide safe, respectful, and appropriate care. When that trust is broken and a loved one suffers preventable harm, legal action may help protect your family member and pursue compensation.

Not every decline in health is abuse or neglect. But when injuries, medical complications, or wrongful death are caused by poor care, understaffing, unsafe conditions, or deliberate mistreatment, a lawsuit may be appropriate.

What Is a Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect Lawsuit?

A nursing home abuse lawsuit is a legal claim brought when a resident is harmed because a facility, staff member, or provider failed to provide reasonable care or engaged in abusive conduct.

These claims may involve:

Physical abuse
Emotional or psychological abuse
Sexual abuse
Neglect
Medical neglect
Malnutrition or dehydration
Medication errors
Falls and preventable injuries
Bedsores (pressure ulcers)
Wrongful death

Federal law recognizes important resident protections, including dignity, self-determination, and freedom from abuse and certain improper restraints, which can be relevant in investigating these cases.
