Nursing Home Wrongful Death Lawyers
Some nursing home errors can have the worst consequences for the residents who are affected. In some cases, the nursing home's failure to exercise the proper level of care or supervision can literally cost the residents, for whom they have an obligation to care, their lives. When that happens, your family can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the nursing home and receive financial compensation if the nursing home settles the case or if you are successful in court.
The attorneys at the Nursing Home Law Center can help your family take action against a nursing home when your loved one has died and the nursing home may be at fault. Families whose loved ones die at a nursing home under questionable circumstances want justice for what happened. Unfortunately, the nursing home, fearing legal liability, may make it difficult for the family to get answers. The Nursing Home Law Center will be on your side as you attempt to figure out what happened and possibly seek compensation.Wrongful Death Claims Cannot be Arbitrated
Wrongful death lawsuits are consequential in many respects. One of the biggest effects of a wrongful death lawsuits is that it defeats any attempt by the nursing home to force the case into arbitration. Many nursing homes try to take advantage of their superior bargaining power when residents enter to home to force families to sign arbitration agreements. This has the effect of depriving families of their day in court as nursing home operators attempt to select arbitration forums that they perceive to be more favorable to their interests. However, several courts have ruled that wrongful death claims cannot be arbitrated if the families want the case to go to court.
While a wrongful death claim often appears with other charges against the nursing home, it is not a claim that is derivative of the other allegations. Instead, wrongful death claims are their own separate independent claims. Many different people have the ability to file these claims on behalf of themselves. Certainly, children and partners of the deceased resident can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the nursing home. In some states, even more distant relatives can file these claims. As opposed to filing a lawsuit seeking compensation for the injury suffered by the resident, a wrongful death claim will seek financial compensation for the impact that the resident's death has on the plaintiff.How Does Wrongful Death Occur?
Wrongful death can result from a wide variety of actions or inactions on the part of the nursing home. Even is a third party has caused the injury that resulted in the death, the nursing home can still be held to be legally responsible. Here are some instances that can result in wrongful death lawsuits against the nursing home.
- Pressure Ulcers - A nursing home fails to prevent or diagnose a pressure ulcer and the resident develops an infection and dies from sepsis.
- Falls - A resident is unsupervised and falls and suffers a fatal head injury.
- Physical Abuse - A roommate or someone else physically attacks a resident and they suffer fatal injuries.
- Dehydration and Malnutrition - The resident becomes is not properly fed or hydrated and suffers fatal physical effects from it.
- Medication Errors – The nursing home staff either prescribes or gives the resident the wrong medication.
- Medical Malpractice – The nursing home fails to live up to its obligation to properly treat the resident's health.
It is important to know the difference between a routine death in a nursing home and a wrongful death. It is an unfortunate fact that deaths occur in nursing homes all time. However, most of these deaths are from natural causes and do not involve wrongdoing on behalf of the nursing home. It is important to consult with an attorney to discuss the manner in which your loved one died to decide whether it may be the basis for a viable legal cause of action.
In order to be a wrongful death, a legal case must prove that three elements exist. They are:
- There was the death of a human being
- The death resulted from the negligence of the nursing home or its staff
- There was an impact on the surviving family
Usually, the first and third elements are not in dispute during a wrongful death lawsuit against a nursing home. The sole issues are whether the nursing home has been negligent and whether that negligence was the cause of the resident's death. The nursing home will often argue that it has taken the necessary actions, but the incident or illness was the fault of the resident or occurred naturally. Alternatively, the nursing home will claim that the resident would have died regardless of its actions.
In a wrongful death lawsuit, the following can be recovered from the nursing home on behalf of the surviving family:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of love and companionship
- Loss of guidance from the loved one
Here are some instances in which families have successfully initiated legal actions against nursing homes and have received compensation for the wrongful death of their loved one.
Settlement for $350,000 in Pennsylvania (2011) – The resident was being transferred from their bed to a wheelchair. The nursing assistant was using a Hoyer Lift to transfer the resident. During the transfer, the resident fell out of the sling and onto the floor, sustaining fatal injuries in the fall. The lawsuit alleged that staff was negligent in not properly securing the resident in the Hoyer lift during the transfer.
Jury Verdict in New York for $18.75 million (2009) – This was an egregious instance of alleged neglect of a resident. The resident developed 20 pressure ulcers during the time he was at the nursing home since staff allegedly failed to reposition his body as necessary. The lawsuit claimed that he was also allowed to lie in his feces for an extended period of time. The pressure ulcers became infected with e.Coli and the resident required five hospitalizations. Despite attempts to contain the infection, it spread and the resident died.
Jury Verdict for $29.1 million in California – The resident was an Alzheimer's patient. She fell and suffered an injury. For eight days, the nursing home failed to diagnose the fact that she sustained a broken hip in the fall. When she underwent surgery, she developed an infection from bedsores that she developed while at the nursing home and died from sepsis. California allows for punitive damages against a nursing home, which is what the bulk of this jury verdict is.
Settlement for $1 million in California (2009) – The resident had a brain injury and a history of choking. Nevertheless, the nursing home staff served him a burrito at mealtime, which he grabbed and tried to eat. He choked on the burrito. Although his records indicated that he was "full code," there was confusion about his status and the staff attempted to contact the family while he was choking to check on his status, taking away from resuscitation efforts. The nursing home was cited by the state for not giving the resident the proper supervision during meals and for failing to ensure that the resident received prompt emergency care.
Jury Verdict for $200 million in Florida (2012) – The resident was confined to a wheelchair and had a history of wandering. She was able to make her way to a staircase and fell down the stairs while still strapped into her wheelchair. She was found an hour later at the bottom of the stairs drowning in a pool of her blood. Notwithstanding the fact that the resident had alarms on her clothing and wheelchair, it still took an hour for her to be found, and the delay contributed to her death. At trial, the family also introduced other evidence of neglect during the resident's nursing home stay. The jury assessed $140 million in punitive damages against the Florida nursing home.
Jury Verdict for $20 million in Kentucky (2006) – The resident complained of abdominal pain and the nursing home allegedly did not listen to the man's complaints, nor did it take steps to obtain prompt medical care for him, including consulting a physician. The abdominal pain turned out to be a precursor to a heart attack, which the resident suffered and died. The jury found that the nursing home's negligence in their failure to obtain medical care caused the resident's death.Has Your Loved One Suffered Wrongful Death While at a Nursing Home?

ABSTRACT: Using a collection of stats provided by the United States Department of Labor, in addition to personal insight, this article will examine why the construction industry is behind the curve when it comes to incident ratings.
There's undoubtedly some degree of disconnect when it comes to safety and its role in the construction industry—and you don't need to look too far to prove it: According to stats provided by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, nearly 6.5 million people work at 252,000 construction sites across the nation on any given day. Out of the 6.5 million workers, 1,300 experienced a non-fatal work related injury with an additional 937 fatalities—out of the 4,836 national total—also reported in 2015. With the help of those statistics, it can be determined that .89% of all construction sites located in the US will experience at least one safety related incident per year. While that percentage only translates to a little over 2000 individual contractors, the statistic still plays a massive role in the industry's 3.5 incident rate (a number that's calculated by multiplying the number of recordable cases by 200,000, and then dividing that number by the number of labor hours available to a contractor or company), which is roughly 10% higher than the national average of 3.3.
It's easy to attribute the above average incident rate as a mere outcome of working with heavy machinery and other jobsite specific work hazards, but after taking a closer look at where exactly other industries rank on the US Department of Labor's Employer-Reported Workplace Injuries and Illnesses Statistics from 2015, it appears as though that may not be the case.
THE PROBLEM: Repair and maintenance workers ended the year with a 2.6 incident rate, petroleum and gas manufacturers at a 2.3. Both occupations—in my opinion— arguably rival the risk associated with the role of a construction worker. The three careers exist within separate industries, which creates room for debate in regards to whether or not it is even fair to draw comparison between the three—so before we dive any deeper, I'll take this moment to ease the skeptics:
On one hand, categorizing the entirety of the construction industry under a single label feels like a broad stroke of the pen. Between commercial contracting, concrete work, heavy construction, and demolition, there are hundreds of job responsibilities in play. To generalize a massive amount of workers under a single, overarching title, seems like a bit of a disservice to the many workers that are required to wear multiple hats to complete a job. Interestingly enough, the same can be said about the manufacturing and maintenance industries. Whether it's performing multiple jobs on a supply chain, or working on machinery that varies in both style and purpose, there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all job description. Both manufacturing operators and repair and maintenance workers are required to fill roles outside their standard responsibilities, paralleling the multi-purpose construction workforce. This is not to say that the risk connected with construction is mild when drawn in comparison to other professions, but this does bring to light an interesting question: If other industries that are forced to wrestle with similar jobsite responsibilities can manage to score below the national average workplace incident rate, then what exactly makes the construction industry the outlier?
THE ANSWER: Standardization. Yes, there are standards set in place by both the OSHA and the ANSI to help establish requirements for how construction equipment is designed and handled accordingly—and that's not where the issue stands. The real issue with standardization and its relationship with safety in the construction industry is that there's not a degree of consistency when it comes to daily safety operations. Thousands of regulations can be set in place to dictate what type of headgear you're required to wear on-site, or which ladder is the best fit for a specific task; all those regulations amount to nothing if there's no way to reinforce that regulations are being followed. If you were to ask a group of contractors about reinforcing safety guidelines on the jobsite, you're going to hear a collection of responses that all come with a varying degree of success; some will work better than others, a few contractors will be in the midst of trying out a new system, but one thing is guaranteed: no two provisions will be exactly the same.
For both the manufacturing and maintenance industries, reinforcement stems from a change in principals and culture at the hands of the lean methodology. If you're unfamiliar with lean, it's best described as a systematic method for eliminating waste in the workplace—more specifically, within a manufacturing system. Developed as part of the Toyota Production System in 1980, lean has transformed the way success is defined for manufacturers by focusing on the concept of continuous improvement. The system focuses on completing smaller incremental goals within the production cycle to achieve a better end product, thereby enhancing productivity throughout an operation. Over the past few decades, the lean methodology has taken on a life of its own, finding success in a number of industries like aerospace, healthcare, and sales.
Time has shown that the true value of lean is not a collection of tools, but the philosophy and culture of the system itself. The 6S methodology, a foundational cornerstone of the lean program, is directly responsible for the standardization of workstations across the globe. Broken into six phases: "sort", "set in order", "shine", "standardize", "sustain", and "safety"; 6S works as a system of checks and balances that helps ensure organization is a top priority in the workplace. Every tool has a place; every item that doesn't add value to the operation is properly removed; every process has a standard. It's a cultural thought process that's completely absent from the minds of many contractors—and to make it perfectly clear, that's not anyone's fault. Rather, it's a severe industry-wide misunderstanding of what it means to provide a safe jobsite. The OSHA and ANSI established laws and standards are a great starting point for jobsite safety, but as many contractors know, being aware of dangers doesn't guarantee accidents won't happen. There has to be some sort of instrument set in place to help reinforce safety measures on the jobsite.
CONCLUSIONS: Part of the reason both the manufacturing and maintenance industries are able to keep incident rates at a below average level is because these standards are entwined in their DNA. Companies have spent years tweaking and redefining their culture in hopes of creating a standardized process that works for their business.
The issue is, there has yet to be any sort of program or ideology that resonates in a similar manner for the construction industry. This standardization doesn't necessarily have to be a 6S system—in fact, it can be anything that will serve as reinforcement—but whatever the answer may be, it has to be something both management and the workforce can get behind.
