Due to the horrific nursing home abuse cases that have occurred in California, state law now has specific provisions regarding nursing home abuse and wrongful death. In fact, wrongful death claims involving nursing home abuse are now the only claims that allow for the recovery of compensation to include pain and suffering that occurred before death. This recovery is limited to $250,000, but additional compensation may be available for other losses and possibly in the form of punitive damages or for attorney fees.
