Don't miss this opportunity to catch up on the Litigating Nursing Home/Assisted Living Claims seminar you missed!
NOTE: This is a previously recorded seminar and does not count as "live" credits.
When we entrust the care of our loved one to a nursing home, assisted living facility or a home health care giver, we are promised that they will be treated with dignity and protected from harm. Yet, despite the high cost of long-term health care, many elderly people have suffered long-term care abuse.
A distinct and evolving body of law exists in New Jersey that is unique to Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home healthcare and group homes. These long-term care providers have legal and regulatory standards that are dramatically different from those faced by other health care providers.
This replay will address the current legal concerns in cases that involve long-term healthcare neglect or inadequate care. Our panel is comprised of attorneys specializing in long-term health care litigation, who will discuss:
- The law and why LTC cases differ from medical malpractice
- Ascertaining if you have a case and if so, going about suing the nursing home or assisted living facility.
- Medical issues and problems that give rise to potential liability including nursing home resident/patient care issues.
- Specific litigation considerations.
- Liability of residential caregivers.
- Tips for preparing and presenting cases.
