You May Be Eligible to Pursue Damages for Many Forms of Damages
A resident who is neglected in a nursing home may have to endure a tremendous amount of physical pain and discomfort. You or your loved one may be able to pursue a financial award for the following damages:
Emotional Trauma
Like any form of abuse, a person recovering from nursing home abuse may experience depression or an anxiety disorder. If you went through emotional distress, we may be able to account for your trauma and add that to your claim.
Cost of Treatment
The costs you or your loved one face after medical treatment for injuries sustained during abuse can be added to the list of damages you can seek from the liable party or the liable party’s insurance company.
Damaged Property
If your loved one’s jewelry was damaged due to the ramifications of physical abuse they endured, you may be able to pursue damages to cover the cost of replacement or repair of the jewelry.
Disability
If your loved one faces physical limitations after their abuse, you can pursue compensation for their condition. It is impossible to truly valuate this loss, but we can apportion an amount that can help with any related medical bills—like mobility devices.
How much your case is worth (or what you can claim) depends on the circumstances of your case and the extent of your losses. A Baldwin nursing home abuse lawyer. can help you understand your options.
