Litigation Prevention

These days, litigation is a frequent and often unavoidable challenge for nursing home and skilled facility administrators.

While a nursing home or long-term facility cannot prevent litigation in every instance, a facility can take steps to best position itself to defend against litigation and to minimize risk and cost.

Do you know the steps you should take to protect your facility?
Kopon Airdo, LLC, a law firm that specializes in the areas of complex civil litigation, including employment law, pharmacy law, health care law, product liability and insurance coverage, has written a Nursing Home Litigation Manual.

The manual provides administrators and staff members of nursing homes and long-term care facilities with a legal perspective for identifying and managing risk, based on issues frequently seen in the defense of nursing homes and long-term care facilities, as well as a greater understanding of the litigation process. 

The manual is available for free by request and includes sections on Causes of Action, Liability for the Nursing Home Team, Records Requests, the Litigation Process, Common Care Issues Giving Rise to Liability, Surveillance and more.
