This episode covers nursing home abuse and neglect litigation in the U.S., including physical abuse, neglect, medication errors, bedsores, and financial exploitation. We summarize common legal theories—negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and elder abuse statutes—and identify regulatory sources such as state long-term care ombudsman reports and CMS inspection records that often drive investigations and civil claims.
Practical guidance includes how to document incidents, request facility records, file complaints with state agencies, and preserve photographic and medical evidence. The episode explains claim timelines, possible remedies (compensatory and punitive damages), and resources for locating specialized elder-care attorneys and advocacy organizations. Content is informational and intended to help families take the first steps toward protection and legal review.
