Who’s Responsible If a Nursing Home Resident Is Hurt During Transport?
In this Law Call episode, Attorney Perry Young answers an important question about injuries that happen when a nursing home resident is being taken to a doctor’s appointment. He explains how responsibility may fall on different parties, including the transport company, the driver, the resident’s own insurance, or even the nursing home itself. Perry breaks down how Florida’s no-fault insurance rules work, when medical coverage applies, and when negligent hiring or supervision may come into play. He also discusses how settlements can affect government benefits and how trusts may help protect them.
