Forms of Nursing Home Abuse

Unfortunately, nursing home abuse often goes unreported until a victim suffers catastrophic or life-threatening injuries. This is, in part, because nursing home abuse can take many forms. There are several other reasons why nursing home abuse goes unreported, including a resident’s fear of retaliation.

Some types of nursing home abuse you could file a claim or sue for include:

  • Medication abuse in nursing homes
  • Malnutrition and dehydration in nursing homes
  • Nursing home emotional abuse
  • Sexual abuse in nursing homes
  • Physical abuse and intimidation in nursing homes
  • Psychological abuse in nursing homes
  • Nursing home financial abuse
  • Nursing home neglect

If your loved one passed away due to abuse in a nursing home environment, your family may have the right to pursue justice and compensation through a wrongful death action. You can explore your legal options further when you contact our firm to discuss the specific details of your case.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Recoverable Damages for Nursing Home Abuse Claims in Forest Hill, LA

After being subjected to nursing home abuse, survivors have the right to compensation for their damages. However, you may not be sure which types of losses you can include when pursuing your case.

You have the right to be made whole. The person who suffered abuse as well as their family members have the right to compensation for every way their lives are affected by this traumatic experience. Some examples of recoverable damages in a Forest Hill nursing home abuse claim or lawsuit include:

  • Chronic pain
  • Physical suffering
  • Emotional trauma
  • Inconvenience
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Lost wages, if you had to take time off work to take care of your loved one
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Reputational damages
  • Loss of consortium
  • Disfiguring injuries
  • Skin scarring
  • Total coverage of healthcare costs and medical expenses

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages may also be possible in nursing home abuse claims. However, Louisiana law can be strict with the issuance of punitive damages. These are not compensable losses. They are awarded when the court deems the defendant’s conduct intolerable or grossly negligent.

Punitive damages are limited in personal injury claims but could impact the amount of compensation your family is awarded. This is because the courts want to punish the defendant for their actions or inaction.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Statute of Limitations for Louisiana Nursing Home Abuse Lawsuits

According to Louisiana Civil Code § 3492, the personal injury statute of limitations is just two years. This is limited amount of time to build a case against the defendant. So, the sooner you get started on your case, the sooner your attorney can access powerful evidence to prove fault and negligence in your case.

If your nursing home abuse lawsuit is not filed before the statute of limitations runs out, you will no longer have the right to have your case heard in court. Fortunately, when you retain a legal advocate, you can rest easier knowing we have legalities like these under control.

CTA CTA

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
