A: It may be possible, but it depends on the nature of your father's injuries. Was he injured at the nursing home, and what was the nature of his injuries? Depending on the answer to that question, you may have a claim against the nursing home. I would recommend consulting with an attorney individually to obtain a professional opinion as to potential liability.
