- Q. If I have power of attorney over my mom can I sue the nursing home for medicine malpracice
- A: This depends on the language in the power of attorney. However, most powers of attorney grant a broad array of powers, including the right of the attorney in fact to initiate litigation on behalf of the principal. Most of our nursing home abuse cases involving a still-living victim are brought by the victim's power of attorney. You should seek out a local nursing home negligence lawyer to assist you in filing suit against the at-fault facility.
- Q. Hello, How do I find the information about the civil lawsuit that was filed last week?
- A: You can find public access to Pennsylvania’s civil court docket online. You can search by party name to locate either 1) the name of the injured nursing home victim or 2) the legal entity name of the negligent nursing home.
- Q. If abuse and negligence contributed to death in a nursing home, how many years does one have to go back and sue?
- A: Most states have a 2 to 4 year statute of limitations on nursing home negligence claims. I am not licensed in Maine, so I could not tell you that state's time period to bring a nursing home abuse claim. However, delay is never a good idea if you believe you have a case. Call a local nursing home abuse attorney immediately. Almost all will provide free consultations and most work on contingency fee, so not out of pocket expense is required.
