Federal and State statutes and regulations govern nursing home operations. Violations of those laws could give rise to nursing home malpractice. The doctors, nurses, and other health care providers working at the nursing home are also subject to the same standard of care as if they were seeing the patient in any office or facility. If you believe that you were injured as a result of nursing home malpractice, you should immediately contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney.
There are many type of medical malpractice that arises in the nursing home context. These include the failure to supervise the patient, failure to prevent them from getting bedsores, failure to provide them with medication in a timely and proper manner, and overmedicating them without a medically sufficient reason. Falls also frequently form a basis for a medical malpractice claim against a nursing home, as is the failure to timely send them to the proper medical facility when they are injured on the premises.
