This
is the essential reference for every nursing home case.
The
best selling primer on nursing home litigation is back -
bigger, and better. The new second edition has been extensively
updated and adds ten all new chapters for a total of 23.
The authors have applied their unique skills as attorneys,
physicians, nurses, pharmacists, administrators, claims
adjusters, and expert witnesses to bring you current information
that will help you litigate these claims. Descriptions of
recent nursing home settlements and verdicts are woven into
the book. Find out who is winning these cases, based on
over 250 allegations made in claims that were resolved in
2001-2003. If you handle nursing home claims, you cannot
afford to be without this book.
Written
for the trial attorney, healthcare professional, and claims
adjuster, this book provides detailed information on how
to litigate a nursing home claim. Each section of this valuable
text is designed to fully explain this hot topic in healthcare.
The book starts with an overview of legal strategies with
a focus on screening cases for merit, discovery techniques,
and the role of the legal nurse consultant. The emerging
area of liability in assisted living and pain mismanagement
is included. It continues with coverage of liability issues
(causes of action, providers, and settings). The last section
is dedicated to presenting the defense perspective from
the standpoint of the physician, attorney, and claims adjuster.
By combining the legal information in the first section
with the high risk liability issues covered in the second
section, this book becomes a must read for any attorney
involved in nursing home or assisted living claims, or any
nursing home administrator.

of essential sources of information.
Ms. Iyer, a medical/surgical nursing
expert and president of a legal nurse consulting firm, has
assembled an outstanding group of legal, medical and administrative
practitioners with decades of experience in nursing home
litigation. She has carefully edited their contributions,
and contributed three chapters of her own.
This is a legal
and medical reference that no attorney or expert involved
in a nursing home case can be without.
Read
about reasons for increases in nursing home litigation.
Review for the first edition:
"Screening cases that may appear
at an attorney's office is critical. The book is especially
valuable in its discussion of theories of recovery; guidance
for defending nursing homes and this use of expert witnesses.
The book is also an excellent resource for those serious
litigators who decide to move into the area of nursing home
litigation and who are not familiar with its complexities.
Although not addressed to non-litigators, they will benefit
from the book. Nursing Home Litigation: Investigation
and Case Preparation will be a useful and practical
addition to the library of the nursing home litigator as
well as the elder law attorney."
