Description

At issue in this case is whether plaintiff's allegation under the Nursing Home Residents' Bill of Rights, La. R.S. 40:2010.8, et seq. (the "NHRBR") that she was negligently allowed to fall out of her wheelchair at a nursing home must be submitted to a medical review panel pursuant to the provisions of the Louisiana Medical Malpractice Act, La. R.S. 40:1299.41, et seq. (the "MMA"). After reviewing the record and the applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the Third Circuit Court of Appeal holding that medical malpractice claims against a nursing home qualified under the MMA must be brought pursuant to the provisions of the MMA; however, we remand this case to the trial court to determine whether plaintiff's allegations of negligence are medical malpractice claims under Louisiana law.
