A nursing home abuse lawsuit is a legal claim. When you or a loved one is a victim of abuse and neglect, a lawsuit is your opportunity to hold the care facility responsible for what has occurred. The lawsuit demands a monetary payment as financial compensation for the fact that the abuse and neglect happened.

By bringing a lawsuit, it is an opportunity for your loved one to receive justice because they were a victim of a legal wrong. As a result of a nursing home lawsuit, your loved one may receive financial compensation for injuries, damages, pain and suffering.

You have a nursing home abuse case if you or a loved one does not receive adequate care in a nursing home. Here are some examples of when you may have a valid case:

  • A resident fails to receive adequate food and becomes malnourished.
  • There is a lack of access to medical care in the facility.
  • Residents are locked in their rooms and don’t have access to the outdoors or the opportunity to socialize with other residents.
  • The facility doesn’t provide wheelchairs, walkers and handrails, so residents are unable to move around.
  • Intentional physical and mental abuse, including yelling, frightening or demeaning residents.
  • Embezzlement or other kinds of financial abuse.
  • Unresponsiveness when residents need help.
  • Failing to dispense medication appropriately.
  • Poor hygiene in a facility that allows diseases or viruses to spread.

Any kind of abuse or neglect may be actionable as a legal claim. Our team helps you investigate what happened in order to identify the causes of the abuse or neglect.

Colorado has strong laws that establish the rights of nursing home residents. There are two sets of laws that may come into play when you bring a nursing home abuse case. First, you might bring your claim under the State of Colorado common law. The laws protect residents’ rights to live in safe conditions that meet a basic level of care. Of course, part of basic care is living without abuse and neglect. When harm occurs because of a failure on the part of the nursing home to provide adequate care, a victim may claim financial compensation.

In addition to common laws, you may also base a claim on the Colorado Protective Services for Adults At Risk laws. Colorado law 26-3.1-101 provides additional rights and protections for victims of nursing home abuse and neglect. When you’re a victim, you may exercise your rights under both sets of laws. Our attorneys can help you pursue your case effectively based on a carefully developed legal strategy unique to your situation.

In a nursing home abuse and neglect lawsuit, you may win compensation for the financial losses that you have because of what happened. You may also win an additional amount for mental anguish and pain and suffering.

Economic losses may include:

  • Emergency room and urgent care bills
  • The cost of the ambulance
  • Expenses associated with transfer out of the facility
  • Property damage
  • Additional medical bills for medical conditions that become more serious because of the abuse
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Mental health treatment costs like counseling and psychological care

Non-economic losses may include:

  • Physical pain
  • Mental injuries and mental anguish
  • Emotional anguish
  • Punitive damages (if you qualify)

There is not one uniform amount that everyone receives in compensation. The amount of damages you receive is based on how severe your injuries are and the expenses you have because of the abuse. However, remember that mental health and cruelty are a significant part of most nursing home cases. Do not underestimate the value of your case. Contact our team for an informed evaluation about the full extent of what your case may be worth.
