Can I Sue a Nursing Home for a Choking Death?

If your loved one passed away due to choking in a nursing home, you can sue that nursing home for their neglect of your loved one. For example, a few years back, we had a case where our client had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in the right side of their body. This required them to have assistance with eating. However, the nursing home left them alone to eat a whole burrito by themselves. They ended up choking to death before the paramedics could even arrive. In that case, we were able to sue that nursing home to ensure they were held liable for their neglect of that individual. If your loved one suffered from a choking incident at a nursing home, please contact Lanzone Morgan with any questions you may have about your legal options.
