Every nursing home resident, prior to full admittance, should be assessed for fall risk. Then, an appropriate care plan is to be designed and implemented to protect patients against falls. Unfortunately, there are care homes that are negligent in their duties to residents, and people suffer the consequences of falls.
At Domnitz & Skemp, we believe those providing care to the elderly or the infirm should be held accountable when their negligence leads to improper care. For decades, we have worked to protect the rights of personal injury victims. We are proud of the people we have helped and of our record of significant verdicts and settlements. If your loved one has suffered nursing home neglect resulting in falls, contact us for a free consultation.
Assessment and follow through are essential
If a nursing home resident is determined to be at risk for falls, there are preventive measures nurses and care aides can take. These can include assisting patients to the restroom, placing a pad beside the bed to soften a fall and supportive straps to aid in transfers or ambulation. Should the nursing home fail to take preventive measures or fail to respond when the resident request help with walking, your loved one could suffer:
- Bone fractures and breaks
- Brain and head injuries
- Permanent disability
- Wrongful death
Should you discover your loved one is not being adequately protected against falls or has suffered an injury due to lack of supervision, you may have a right to file a claim of negligence. At our firm, our lawyers work on a contingency basis. That means you pay no attorney's fees until we win the case for you.
