When you entrust the care of your loved one to a nursing home, you reasonably expect the staff and facility will provide excellent care and medical treatment.
Recoverable Damages in a Nursing Home Abuse Case
Our lawyer serving Marksville can review your nursing home incident and go over your legal options as well as recoverable damages you could receive. The severity of these damages will determine how much compensation you could seek in your case. Upon review of the details and evidence in your situation, you may be able to recover economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages can be documented with receipts, invoices, work time cards, and other files. These include:
- Medical bills of the elder who was in nursing care
- Therapy to address the individual’s mental health needs
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage or replacement if the property was damaged or stolen
- Lost wages if you are your loved one’s caregiver and had to take time off work
If your loved one did not survive their abuse, you might qualify to pursue a wrongful death action against the liable party.
You may be able to receive compensation for:
- Final medical expenses
- End-of-life care
- Funeral, burial, or cremation expenses
You may have additional expenses not listed here. You can speak with a Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers team member who can advise you further during a free consultation. We can answer your questions and possibly help you uncover additional damages in your case.
