You can sue just about anyone for just about anything. I guess your question is whether or not you can win?
Without anything except your mother's testimony, I doubt it. She's had a stroke, and I assume she's elderly? A defense attorney will tear her apart on the stand and get the jury to believe that she might be senile. That's all it takes - "might" be senile.
I only ask this next question because I don't have any more details than you gave to us - are you sure that this stroke hasn't effected her in a way that she might be paranoid and having hallucinations? Does she seem lucid in every other way? Did this nurse make you uncomfortable? Did she seem like someone who would be so cruel to an old lady suffering from a stroke?
If your gut tells you that this nurse did what your mother says, at least report her to the hospital so that they will keep a closer eye on her. If anyone else witnessed the abuse, definitely file a lawsuit. The woman should not be caring for anyone and should lose her license.
definitely. and u get more $$$
If she was licked on a monday night that is hazardous not punishable.
report the nurse! ensure that your mother feels safe and secure, work out every aspect of this----and heh, if a lawsuit works, go for it!!
no, because you cant prove it!
