A nursing home negligence claim arises when a resident suffers harm due to substandard care, neglect, or abuse in a care facility. Negligence can take many forms, including medical errors, poor hygiene, lack of supervision, or mistreatment by staff.

If a loved one has experienced avoidable harm in a nursing home, compensation may be available.

Common Types of Nursing Home Negligence

Negligence in nursing homes and care facilities can lead to serious injuries and health complications. Some of the most common cases include:

✔ Failure to provide medical care – Mismanagement of medication, untreated illnesses, or delays in medical attention.
✔ Bedsores and pressure ulcers – Caused by prolonged immobility and inadequate repositioning.
✔ Falls and mobility-related injuries – Due to a lack of supervision, poor facility maintenance, or inadequate safety measures.
