You should contact a local attorney who does nursing home negligence cases.  These cases are a different breed than medical negligence cases because statutory provisions provide a cause of action beyond mere negligent care. Not all attorneys to medical malpractice work to nursing home negligence cases. Additionally, statutes can also provide a victim of nursing home negligence an opportunity to collect attorneys fees in these cases, and this gives an attorney incentive to take on these cases when they would otherwise be financially nonviable due to the advanced age of the fact of the victim. Attorneys who do these cases usually provide free initial consultations. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research medical malpractice attorneys.  Then, visit each attorney's website and look for a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.  Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
