Nursing Home Malpractice
Medical malpractice which occurs in a nursing home or care facility for the elderly is often referred to as nursing home malpractice or negligence. Nursing home malpractice may also include neglect, when patients are not provided with proper nutrition or medical care.
Medical malpractice and elder abuse are definite concerns throughout the United States. In fact, it is estimated that one in every three nursing home facilities has some form of neglect, negligence, wrongdoing or malpractice occurring. Filing a nursing home malpractice claim or lawsuit can help stop this situation from continuing to occur, as well as enabling a victim to obtain compensation for the injuries and losses suffered.
