Nursing home negligence takes place when a nursing resident is neglected or abused by staff in a nursing home. This type of abuse or neglect can lead to serious injuries, including death. Unfortunately, the nursing home industry is now a multi-billion dollar business run by big corporations. This means that profitability and efficiency have become priorities over providing proper nursing care to patients, and this is why the federal government and the states' governments have created laws to protect nursing home residents.
