Compensation You Are Eligible to Recover
If someone you love was hurt at the hands of a caregiver in their nursing home, they are legally entitled to financial compensation. The aftermath of nursing home abuse will almost certainly have extremely significant financial consequences, including:
- Relocating your loved one to a safe location
- Current and future medical care for their recovery
- Resulting physical disability or disfigurement
- You loved one’s pain and suffering
- Resulting mental anguish and emotional distress
In addition, according to New York Consolidated Laws, Public Health Law – PBH § 2801-d, you might also be permitted to recover punitive damages. Our team will build a solid case file and show you how to identify the at-fault caregiver and the negligent nursing home.
Document Your Right to Financial Recovery
To prove your loved one’s allegations of abuse, New York law requires you to establish certain facts. First, we will establish the at-fault party’s identity. Then, we will work to prove the nursing home did not provide your loved one with the acceptable care they were due. Evidence we collect to prove the facts that support your right to recovery include:
- Medical and financial records that document injuries and their costs
- Nursing home records that prove on-duty staff and documentation of your loved one’s injuries
- Photos that document bruises, lack of hygienic care, and unacceptable living conditions
- Witness testimonies including statements from nursing home staff and residents
You have our deepest sympathies if your loved one succumbed to their abuse. Our team will collect bills and receipts that establish the costs of making their final arrangements. Where possible, your loved one’s personal statements and recollections, notes and written prognosis from their medical and psychological health care providers, and observations by family members, visitors, and therapists, will all be collected and analyzed as part of our mission to build the most compelling case we can, and to establish the enormity and all the details of the loss. .
Understand the Importance of the Statute of Limitations
Per New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, you have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit for financial compensation for your loved one and your family. If a government agency was involved, the statute of limitations would be much shorter and the time to serve a Notice of Claim would be even shorter. An expired statute of limitations or failure to timely serve a Notice of Claim, if such service is indicated, could mean you lose the ability to seek financial compensation from the at-fault party.
In addtion to legal filing and notice deadlines, there are also practical “deadlines.” The sooner you reach out to our team members, the more time we have to:
- Investigate the abuse allegations
- Locate and interview witnesses
- Locate and view nursing home video, if available
Getting our team involved in your case sooner rather than later also ensures we have time to build the best possible case for you and the strongest possible negotiation strategy.
