Nursing home falls are very common. They commonly result in bone fractures and dislocations and often occur
during the following times:

• When nursing home residents
  are dropped during transfers
• When frail, physically limited,
  and sometimes cognitively challenged residents are left alone and unattended
  for prolonged periods of time

  

Although not every fall amounts to nursing home neglect (some falls are unpreventable), many nursing home falls are a sign of negligence and can be avoided. An investigation by an experienced nursing home attorney should be undertaken to determine the whether the fall was the result of negligence or purely an accident.

Nursing homes are often very cautious about providing details of the fall to the resident’s loved ones. The nursing home staff can be evasive and medical records are often incomplete. Accordingly, it can be very challenging and frustrating for family members to determine exactly how the fall occurred. However, a skilled nursing home attorney knows how to address these issues. A nursing home attorney can make certain all necessary information is provided and a complete evaluation of the fall is undertaken.
