Types of Nursing Home Abuse Claims We Handle
Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is a common occurrence. Abuse can happen at any type of nursing home – independent living homes, assisted living homes, skilled nursing facilities, memory care homes, home care, and more.
Elderly people can experience a wide range of abuse in different nursing home settings, and any professional on staff can be held liable for damages that have been caused due to their negligence or wrongful act.
The most common types of nursing home abuse include but are not limited to:
- Neglect
- Abandonment
- Physical abuse
- Emotional abuse
- Verbal abuse
- Financial exploitation
- Sexual abuse
When you or a loved one has been a victim of abuse in a nursing home, file a legal claim and hold the at-fault party liable. Nursing home abuse can result in a wide range of damages that can bring forth legal action, including:
- General or noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering and mental anguish
- Personal injury resulting in medical expenses and long-term health conditions
- Wrongful death
How quickly do I need to file a nursing home abuse lawsuit?
If you’d like to file a legal claim against the nursing home and/or its staff member(s), you’ll need to do so within the period specified by Florida’s statute of limitations. The time you have to file a claim and get compensated for your losses through a lawsuit depends on the claim you’ll be filing.
For personal injury claims, you need to file a claim within four years of the date of the abuse. For wrongful death claims, families need to file a claim within two years of the family member’s death. Outside of these time frames, you will likely not be able to receive compensation through a legal claim.
