I don't handle nursing home abuse, but in terms of personal injury cases, you could use a number of different formats.

If you believe she is incapable of making decisions for herself you can use the health care proxy. If the medical facility refuses to recognize it or believe she is still competent to make these decisions you will need to have the courts intervene. Generally, it is done by seeking Guardianship of... Read more »

Unless you did something to provoke the attack, the best (and only real) remedy is against the group home because they knew or should have known this resident would act out in the manner that they did. Talk to a lawyer.
A petition is the first document filed with the court that initiates a probate case. It is like a complaint in a civil case.

I don't see a question in your statement of facts, but assuming that your question is whether or not you would have a case against the memory caregiver, it is not possible to tell. There are so many variables and other facts to discover before an opinion can be made. Additionally, you must know the... Read more »

When in doubt, sue them both. If you've got a nursing home issue, I suggested you call Will Eadie. That's all he does.
