This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

Establishing The Nursing Home’s Liability For A Resident’s Suicide

Establishing a nursing home’s liability in a resident suicide means venturing into dense and complex territory. By definition, suicide victims cause their own deaths. The objective in such a legal case centers on proving that the nursing home played a role in the suicide.

By asking several questions, we will lay a solid foundation for this liability:

  • Did the nursing home’s or its staff’s actions or inactions prompt the suicide?
  • Did any of the nursing home staff know the resident was suicidal?
  • Could other factors at the nursing home have played some part in the suicide?

By these criteria, if nursing home MDS indicates suicidal ideation or behavioral illness in your loved one before admission, and/or if the staff failed to respond to and manage potential risk factors, we can lay the groundwork for liability in your loved one’s suicide.

Gathering Evidence To Prove Liability For A Nursing Home Resident Suicide

Zanes Law’s mental illness and suicide lawyers in Phoenix, AZ will collaborate with psychologists and mental health experts to establish a framework for your loved one’s mental state around the time of his or her suicide.

We will also gather evidence from other sources, including statements we solicit from witnesses, photographs, and surveillance videos.

Establishing That A Nursing Home Was Negligent, At-Fault, And Liable

To pursue legal action against the nursing home where your loved one committed suicide, we will address all elements of the “duty of care” precept required by law:

  1. Duty of Care – Federal law answer the Duty of Care question for nursing homes, as they are required to implement and enforce practices that minimize resident infections.
  2. Breach of Duty of Care – Next, we need to prove that the nursing home breached its duty of care.
  3. Causation – We shall prove how the nursing home’s breach of duty prompted your loved one’s suicide.
  4. Damages – Finally, we demonstrate the damages resulting from your loved one’s suicide.

We will do everything from A to Z to prove your case that nursing home negligence caused your loved one’s suicide.
