Falls
Most nursing home injuries involve falls. The elderly are at high risk for breaking bones when they fall, and nursing homes should take every measure to prevent these incidents.
Unfortunately, nursing homes and other care facilities often do a poor job at preventing falls. Every resident is entitled to a "fall assessment" which is used to assess how likely a resident is to fall. Although many nursing homes do an initial fall assessment, many fail to follow up.
Helping Injured Victims - Our Approach
At The Bell Law Firm, PLLC, our attorneys are familiar with the tactics nursing homes use to protect themselves when an injury occurs. We are experienced at uncovering the truth and determining responsibility in a nursing home injury accident. Many times, negligence by staff is to blame.
Many care facilities are not adequately monitoring their residents. As a result, elderly individuals are receiving injuries that could have been prevented. We understand the importance of holding long term care facilities responsible for their actions - contact us to find out more.
