You can sue on a number of legal grounds, such as fraud, neglect, financial irregularities, failure to provide adequate care, breach of contract, pain and suffering, mental anguish, or failure to comply with state nursing home statutes. (Click here for an article on abuses in nursing homes.) In March 1998, the nation’s biggest nursing-home company received national publicity when it was jolted by a $95.1 million award in damages for fraud, negligence and abuse.
