What is my Bronx Nursing Home Abuse Case Worth?

Valuing a Bronx nursing home case comes down to analyzing liability and damages.

Assessing Liability in a Bronx Nursing Home Lawsuit

When looking at a potential case of nursing home neglect, our attorneys first ask ‘what did the nursing home do wrong?’ This wrongdoing is called nursing home negligence. This constitutes the liability portion of the lawsuit. In other words, was the nursing home staff negligent in their care, treatment and supervision of your loved one? Was a statutory residents’ right violated under New York Public Health Law (PHL) § 2801-d?

Liability is a yes or no answer. However, successfully proving liability gets you $0. It only allows you to get to the real determination of a Bronx nursing home lawsuit’s value; your damages.

Evaluating Damages in a Bronx Nursing Home Abuse Claim

If you prove a nursing home was liable for causing harm to your family member, you then get to assess damages. Nursing home abuse damages are injuries that relate to the harm done by the nursing home employees. These are compensable injuries which include pain and suffering, medical bills, funeral bills and occasionally punitive damages. At the end of the trial, a jury is asked to balance the harm done to the Plaintiff by awarding money damages for these losses.

Damages drive the value of nursing home abuse claims. Luckily, the Bronx has some of the highest jury verdicts in all of New York on nursing home abuse trials.

Bronx Nursing Home Lawsuit Jury Verdicts and Settlement Values

The true value of a nursing home abuse claim is dependent on the specific case facts. No two cases are the same and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

That being said, the majority of the nursing home cases our attorneys accept resolve in the six figures, meaning $100,000+. Seven figure settlements ($1,000,000+) are rare. However, some Bronx jury verdicts against negligent nursing homes break state and national norms.

The Bronx is a very favorable venue for Plaintiff’s and their families to try a case. A Bronx jury awarded Gaulbert Francesco Alvarez $750,000 for developing bedsores while immobilized as a quadriplegic resident. In another Bronx nursing home negligence jury verdict, Florence Drayton, 74, was awarded $650,000 for untreated bed sores which allegedly caused wrongful death. A $350,000 settlement arose out of the wrongful death of 92 year old Bronx nursing home resident Sadie Holmes, who alleged nursing home neglect, bed sores and malnutrition.
