It is impossible to tell you the answer to your question without knowing more facts, but it really is not a question that you need to answer before consulting with a lawyer.
You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state), preferably one who practices in the area of nursing home negligence cases. Personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed. Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.
