What is a nursing home negligence claim?

 

A:

A nursing home negligece case is when you or a loved are injured as a result of medcial malpractice or abuse in a nursing home. Malpractice occurs when a medical provider (doctor, nurse, therapist, etc.) causes harm to a patient as a result of a breach of the standard of care. A breach of the standard of care can occur in a number of ways. For example, if a doctor fails to provide treatment that should be given that can be a breach of the standard of care. Or if a treatment is provided but done wrong that can also be a breach of the standard of care. Virginia law generally requires the testimony of a medical expert to determine if the standard of care was breached.
