My Mom is in on Medicaid and in a nursing home. There was a leak in the room above hers and when she got up from bed she slipped on the water and broke her ankle which required surgery. She has dementia which has gotten worse since surgery and we're still not sure if she can walk. Can we sue? The nursing home gets all their income and Medicaid pays the rest.

Based on the facts you've presented then yes you can almost certainly sue the nursing home. But the details are important; please call the office and we'll discuss this further.
