Nursing Home Falls Lawyer In Lake Charles

One of the worst things that can happen to an elderly person is a fall. With old age come more brittle bones, which can lead to fractures, broken bones, blood clots and other serious long-term problems. Add to these problems a decreased ability for the body to recover and a nursing home fall can be catastrophic. If you or an elderly relative has suffered a fall, make sure you work with a team of experienced, compassionate lawyers to protect your right to full compensation in your case.

Nursing Home Liability And Falls

The primary role of nursing homes is to provide care and attention for the unique needs of their elderly residents. If an elderly person falls while in the care of a nursing home, and this fall can be traced back to some kind of negligence or abuse by the staff or an unsafe environment, the nursing home could be liable for the damages the elderly resident suffered.

Nursing home falls can result from:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Unsafe stairways or lack of proper stair rails
  • Lack of handles in hallways
  • Unsafe bath and shower environments
  • Improper methods of moving or repositioning a resident
  • Lack of proper supervision
  • Over-sedated patients
  • Untrained staff
