Nursing Home Abuse: Fractures and Falls
It’s an all-too-common sight in American nursing homes: a
loved one who has suffered a major fracture as a result of the fall. Even
worse, many of these falls are easily preventable by nursing home staff. If
your loved one has suffered a fracture as a result of negligence or outright
abuse by nursing home staff, our experienced nursing home
abuse lawyers can help.
You and your loved one have a right to expect quality,
conscientious care from the nursing home staff.
Our nursing home abuse lawyers have seen elderly loved ones
who have suffered fractures and falls as a result of:
- Physical abuse by staff
- Poor supervision
- Improperly secured beds
- Staff allowing patients to wander without care
The personal injuries suffered in these cases are severe,
and the weakened physical state of most nursing home residents makes them
uniquely vulnerable in the event of a fall.
If you have any questions
about nursing home abuse, lawyers at The Cochran Firm will be happy to
answer them.
We offer free initial consultations with our nursing home
abuse lawyers. If you have a claim, we can help you pursue justice and
compensation.
