There are various types of compensation available to victims of nursing home abuse or neglect. This can include the following economic and non-economic compensation:
Coverage of any medical expenses incurred by a resident
Pain and suffering damages
Loss of enjoyment of life damages
Relocation expenses if necessary
Possible punitive damages against individuals or the agency responsible
The total amount of compensation will vary depending on specific factors relating to each case. For cases of either nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect, both the perpetrators of the abuse and the nursing home agency itself could be held liable for damages.
