Tampa Nursing Home Negligence FAQs
There is a nursing home bill of rights in place on a federal level that governs nursing homes certified to receive Medicaid and Medicare. Among those rights, the law requires any such facility to inform the personal representative of the senior resident of any worsening conditions or injuries.
Multiple parties can be held liable for nursing home abuse. The primary party inflicted the injury. You can also hold the nursing home facility and its administrators liable for your loved one’s injuries.
Florida law requires any medical professional aware of abuse or neglect in a nursing home to file a report with Florida’s Adult Protective Services Division. This will prompt a claim investigation. Several other parties are also required to report suspected abuse and neglect in nursing homes.
There is a statute of limitations for nursing home abuse and neglect cases in Florida. You will have two years from the accident or injury to file a claim. No one can file a claim after four years since the injury or accident occurred.
When you file a nursing home negligence claim, you may recover compensation for damages sustained.
The compensation you may deserve includes:
- Medical expenses
- Financial and out of pocket expenses
- Pain and suffering damages
- Mental anguish
There may be other economic and non-economic damages that you and your loved one can seek with the help of a Tampa nursing home negligence attorney.
If your loved one cannot make decisions on their own, someone else can meet a few criteria for them to file a claim on their behalf. First, you must have a power of attorney issued before their mental condition. Another criterion will be the court assigning you to be their legal guardian or caretaker. You will, however, need to discuss the specifics with a Tampa nursing home negligence attorney.
Recovery is personal.
