There is a variety of different “damages” that a victim of nursing home abuse may recover in an action. This includes pain and suffering, wrongful death, medical bills (especially if a resident needs to be transferred to a hospital due to the harms inflicted by a facility), loss of society with family members, reimbursement for property damages (financial harms), and other damages caused by the nursing home abuse. In rare instances, a resident may be entitled to punitive damages for egregious conduct. Ask our lawyer at Schlater Law what you and your family may be entitled to under Florida law.
