In Georgia, victims of nursing facility neglect or abuse may recover damages for pain and suffering, wrongful death, mental and physical trauma, hospitalization and medication costs, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, punitive damages for intentional, reckless, or outrageous conduct by the company or staff may also be awarded.
Even if the victim is elderly or retired, damages are available. In fact, we believe that damages are even more important when our most vulnerable citizens are negligently injured or abused.
