Holding Staff and Facilities Accountable for Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse lawsuits help hold negligent facilities accountable for their actions or inaction. These legal proceedings arise when staff members inflict physical injuries, emotional trauma, or other forms of abuse on residents. By filing a claim, victims and their families can secure compensation for damages like medical care and pain and suffering. With the statue of limitations in Arizona, you have two years to file a claim against the nursing home.

These facilities bear responsibility when they allow abuse to go unchecked due to negligence. Failing to properly screen employees, maintain adequate staffing levels, or provide necessary training may all constitute negligence. Additionally, nursing homes face liability for ignoring reported incidents of abuse, concealing evidence of misconduct, or retaliating against residents who speak up.
