Losing a loved one is always painful—but when their death results from nursing home abuse or neglect, the grief is compounded by anger, confusion, and a need for answers. At Protect Seniors Law Firm, we help families navigate the complex legal and emotional process of holding negligent care facilities accountable for wrongful death.

Our firm is dedicated to one mission: protecting the rights of elderly victims and their families. If you believe your loved one died as a result of substandard care, we’re here to help you seek truth and justice.

What Is a Nursing Home Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim arises when a resident dies as a result of abuse, neglect, or medical malpractice in a long-term care facility. These cases may involve:

• Untreated infections or medical conditions
• Failure to administer medications
• Bedsores leading to fatal sepsis
• Malnutrition or dehydration
• Falls due to lack of supervision
• Physical abuse or violence
• Failure to respond to medical emergencies

Even subtle neglect—like missing one dose of a critical medication—can have deadly consequences. When a facility fails in its legal duty to care for residents, it can and should be held liable.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

In most states, including those where Protect Seniors operates, the following parties may be eligible to bring a wrongful death lawsuit:

• Spouse of the deceased
• Children (including adopted children)
• Parents
• Legal representatives or estate executors (if no immediate family survives)

The lawsuit can seek damages on behalf of both the estate and surviving family members.

Damages You May Be Entitled To

No amount of money can replace the life of a loved one—but compensation can help relieve the financial burden and send a powerful message that elder abuse will not be tolerated.

Wrongful death damages may include:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical bills incurred prior to death
• Pain and suffering of the deceased
• Loss of companionship and guidance
• Emotional distress of surviving family
• Loss of future financial support or inheritance
• Punitive damages for gross misconduct or intentional harm

Our team fights aggressively to maximize compensation and hold negligent facilities fully accountable.

Why Nursing Home Deaths Go Unreported

Nursing home deaths due to abuse or neglect are tragically underreported. Facilities may:

• Attribute preventable deaths to “natural causes”
• Fail to notify families of incidents or injuries
• Alter medical records or omit key details
• Pressure staff to remain silent

This is why legal investigation is critical. At Protect Seniors, we work with medical experts, coroners, and independent investigators to uncover the truth and expose any wrongdoing.
