Staff members who work at an Atlanta nursing home or assisted living facility are responsible for acting reasonably under the circumstances and adequately caring for their patients at all times. When they fail to provide their patients with the care they need, they can become a defendant in a nursing home negligence claim.
In addition to the nursing home itself, the following individuals may be possible defendants in a claim for nursing home negligence:
- Physicians
- Nurses
- Nursing assistants
- Nursing home administrators
- Dietitians
- Physical therapists
- Staff members
If your loved one has suffered an injury or illness that resulted from an act of negligence committed by a nursing home employee, your lawyer can assist you with bringing a claim or filing a lawsuit for damages against all potentially responsible parties. We can then pursue monetary compensation in the form of damages on your loved one’s behalf.
