Frequently Asked Questions for Palm Beach Accident Lawyers

Q: Can the nursing home be liable if another resident caused my mother’s injuries?

A: Nursing home and assisted care facility residents in Florida are guaranteed rights under the Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987.  The staff and administration of such facilities have a responsibility to provide adequate staffing and supervision to prevent resident on resident assault. 

If you suspect that your loved one has endured resident on resident assault or abuse due to lack of staffing or proper procedures in a nursing home, that facility may be liable. 
Recent studies have shown evidence that resident on resident assault is an extremely widespread issue, and may be an even greater concern than direct abuse from staff members. 

If you feel your loved one has been a victim of resident to resident assault, contact a Palm Beach nursing home abuse lawyer at Fetterman & Associates.  Their dedicated and experienced professionals will help you to assess the situation and determine the best course of action to ensure that your loved one is safe from resident on resident assault.
