Nursing Home Fall Injuries – FAQs

When a loved one suffers a fall in a nursing home, it’s natural to have urgent questions. These incidents, often stemming from negligence, can cause severe injuries like fractures and head trauma. Understanding your legal rights is crucial.

What constitutes a fall in a nursing home?

A fall occurs when a resident is unintentionally lowered to the ground, usually due to slips, trips, or inadequate support.  These can happen due to factors like poor facility upkeep, insufficient staff, or lack of proper monitoring. It’s essential to recognize these falls as potential signs of neglect.

Can nursing homes be held liable for fall injuries?

Absolutely. Nursing homes must provide a safe environment. When falls result from negligence – poor maintenance, insufficient staffing, or ignored safety protocols – they can be held accountable.

How do I know if we have a valid claim?

A valid claim usually involves proving the nursing home’s negligence directly caused the fall and the resulting injuries.  This means showing they failed to meet the expected standard of care.

Gathering evidence like medical records, eyewitness accounts, and expert opinions is key. Our nursing home fall injury attorneys will meticulously evaluate your case and guide you through building a strong claim.

What evidence is needed?

  • Medical Records: Documenting the fall-related injuries and any complications.
  • Photographs: Time-stamped images of the injuries and possibly where the fall happened.
  • Witness Statements: Accounts from family, residents, and staff offer valuable context.
  • Expert Testimony: Medical professionals can explain how the fall might have been prevented and the impact on your loved one.
