Alabama Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers
If a nursing home resident is prone to falling, the facility is obligated to take precautions to prevent a falling injury. A falling accident in a nursing home can result in fractures, head injuries and even wrongful death.
Nursing home slip-and-fall accidents can be caused by:
- Slippery walkways
- Obstacles on the floor
- Failure to properly use bed rails
- Failure to use alarms that alert staff when an at-risk resident tries to move
- Staff members dropping residents while moving them
Nursing homes are required by federal law to assess every resident that enters the facility. This assessment includes risk of wandering off and falling. If a nursing home failed to meet its obligations and your loved one suffered a fall or fracture as a result, our attorneys are here to stand up for your rights.
