WHEN CAN SOMEONE SUE A NURSING HOME IN NEVADA?

There are a variety of circumstances that could lead to a successful lawsuit against a nursing home or long-term care facility in Nevada. Some factors include:

-poorly trained staff
-unqualified staff
-staff who have criminal or violent backgrounds
-too few staff
-isolation of residents
-residents who are reluctant or fearful to report any wrongdoing

A nursing home or other type of long-term care facility in Nevada may be found liable in a variety of circumstances. Causes of action in Nevada can include issues related to negligence, abuse, false imprisonment, or violating criminal statutes.

In addition, nursing homes in Nevada and the majority of the staff are required to maintain certifications or licenses. In conjunction with civil or criminal penalties, individuals may also face violations related to their licensing, maintenance, or basic operation.

When an individual is subject to abuse or neglect in Nevada, he/she may be able to initiate the following types of proceedings:

1) a personal injury civil cause of action, which allows for monetary damages
2) a criminal prosecution, which allows for the wrongdoers to receive punishment
3) an investigation by the proper protective services agency, which could result in immediate relief or removal of a patient to a new facility
