Nursing
Home Litigation – Investigation and Case Preparation
2nd Edition: Edited by Patricia
Iyer RN. Written for the trial attorney, legal nurse
consultant, 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. New in 2006.

You will learn what the caregiver should assess after a

rationale for moving away from the use of restraints and
side rails is explained. The text concludes with a description
of the analysis of the liability and damages associated
with a fall. You will learn how meritorious cases are identified.
Common allegations by plaintiff’s experts are listed,
along with 9 defense strategies. The use of punitive damages
