Who Should Be Held Responsible for Nursing Home Malnutrition and Dehydration?

Who can be held legally and financially responsible for nursing home malnutrition and dehydration often depends on the circumstances of the case.

Some of the parties who can be held responsible for nursing home malnutrition and dehydration include:

It is entirely possible, even likely, that more than one person or company is responsible for a claim of nursing home malnutrition or dehydration. That is why it is important to have experienced nursing home malnutrition and dehydration attorneys who can investigate your or your loved one’s claim to determine who exactly is at fault.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dehydration & Malnutrition

FAQ: What kinds of compensation am I entitled to for my malnutrition and dehydration claim?

You are entitled to reimbursement of your medical expenses incurred to treat your malnutrition and dehydration along with any medical complications that arose as a result of your malnutrition or dehydration. You may also be entitled to pain and suffering damages. The Residents’ Bill of Rights may also allow you to recover attorneys’ fees and legal costs incurred in pursuing a claim. Finally, if your or your loved one’s malnutrition or dehydration arose from particularly egregious or wanton conduct, you may also be entitled to seek punitive damages; however, punitive damages are usually only awarded in the rarest of cases.

FAQ: Do I or my family need to pursue criminal charges against the nursing home?

You do not need to file criminal charges to also pursue a claim of nursing home malnutrition and dehydration. Conduct that can give rise to a civil claim may not rise to the level of criminal culpability. However, if a nursing home or its staff are found criminally liable for your or your loved one’s malnutrition or dehydration, that can go a long way to proving your civil claim.
