Medical Negligence

An elderly person may be in the care of a nursing home following an accident or injury or for long-term care. By definition, a nursing home is a long-term healthcare facility that provides care to patients who are unable to care for themselves, and this includes medical treatment. If a nursing home fails to provide medical care in accordance with accepted standards, this may constitute medical negligence and may cause serious injury or even the wrongful death of an elderly patient.
