Falls and Preventable Injuries

Elderly Falls and Preventable Injuries

Nursing homes and care facilities are required to balance the needs of a business with the needs of the people they are responsible for caring for. All too often, the needs of a business take precedence, resulting in an environment in which negligence can occur all too easily. This can result in a serious personal injury, such as burns, falls, fractures, other wander off injuries, and even wrongful death. If your parent, grandparent, or other elder loved one has been hurt in an accident while under someone's care and you suspect that it is the result of negligence, the Charlip Law Group, L.C. is here for you.

A nursing care facility should have sufficient staffing so that your loved one can be properly monitored. While accidents can happen in any setting, this type of facility should be designed to prevent them by closely watching the residents. When a nursing home is so concerned with the bottom line that they cut staffing, it can lead to a shortage of qualified care givers. The end result is that your loved one may not be monitored appropriately. This is neglect.
