Any party who has been charged with caring for your elderly loved one may be accountable for the abuse, harm, or injuries that they have suffered. If your family member has been mistreated in a New York nursing home, the following parties may be legally liable:
Physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers who have engaged in medical malpractice
The long-term care facility in question
Administrators of the nursing home
Attendants and caretakers
Government agencies that oversee nursing home permits and licensing
Elder abuse occurs outside of the context of nursing homes, as well. If your loved one has faced abuse from these parties in any context, call a skilled nursing home abuse attorney as soon as possible.
