Nursing Home Abuse: Understanding Who’s Responsible
As published by Nolo in “Who’s Liable for Nursing Home Injury or Abuse?”, responsibility for injuries or abuse in nursing homes may extend beyond individual caregivers. Liability can include nursing home staff, administrators, ownership groups, or third-party contractors when failures in care, supervision, or facility policies contribute to resident harm.
Establishing liability often involves reviewing staffing practices, training protocols, medical records, and compliance with state and federal regulations. Identifying the responsible parties is a key step in pursuing compensation and holding nursing homes accountable for injuries caused by neglect or abuse.
