How are damages determined and what types of damages are recoverable in a nursing home negligence case?

Wage loss or lost income seldom arises in nursing home negligence cases; rather, the primary damages are usually pain and suffering and the costs associated with treatment of an injury.  For example, if an individual is admitted to a hospital as a result of nursing home abuse or neglect, some party is responsible for paying for the care, as this is considered an economic damage.  Most nursing home negligence cases are handled by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurers.
