Nursing Home Medical Expert Witnesses

Understand the standards of care that apply to nursing home negligence

Nursing homes provide a variety of medical services to their residents, including medication administration and diagnosis and treatment of injuries and illnesses such as bedsores. Because nursing home residents are typically in frail health, facilities must follow standards of care.

Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Medical negligence in nursing homes may include:

Giving a resident the wrong medication or the wrong dosage.
Failing to monitor residents to ensure they are taking their medications properly.
Failing to promptly diagnose and treat bedsores (pressure ulcers).
Failing to recognize a fever or other warning signs of infection.
Not promptly sending the resident to a hospital or specialist when necessary.

The Rieback Medical-Legal Consultants network includes medical professionals who can opine on the standards of care that apply to nursing homes, including nurses, nurse practitioners, and geriatricians. Our experts can review medical records and opine on whether negligence caused the resident to become sick or injured. They can also explain the long-term consequences of the injury and help calculate damages.
