Nursing Home Abuse Richmond

Nursing home litigation is the process of filing a lawsuit to obtain fair compensation for somebody who has been injured in a nursing home or in a tragic situation for the family members who have lost a loved one in a nursing home due to the nursing home's neglect. In a nursing home case, we're trying to obtain money damages for our client, because that's the only way to compensate somebody for the loss of a loved one. There are two types of damages that we can recover in a nursing home case. One is called compensatory damages, and that's for the medical expenses, the pain, the suffering, everything that the patient went through. But in many times we can also seek what's called punitive damages, and that's for the purpose of punishing the nursing home for egregious conduct, and, under Virginia law, we can collect up to $350,000. When selecting a nursing home lawyer, there is no more important question than finding out how experienced the lawyer is.
