Common Causes of Nursing Home Falls

Falls in nursing homes in Southern California are often not accidents. They are typically preventable when the nursing home and its staff members take certain precautions. When a nursing home fails to uphold its duties of care in regard to the safety of its residents, fall accidents and other traumas can occur. Attorney Joel Bryant is passionate about seeking financial compensation for clients after harmful falls that stem from neglect, carelessness, or resident abuse.

  • Slippery, wet, or freshly waxed floors
  • Spills or food debris
  • Uneven floors or cracked sidewalks
  • Leaks or standing water
  • Lack of warning signs
  • Slippery shoes
  • Obstacles in walkways
  • Torn rugs or carpets
  • Defective mobility assistive devices
  • Lack of bed rails
  • Improper transitions
  • Low lighting
  • Intentional elder abuse

If another nursing home would have done more to prevent the resident from falling, the establishment in charge of caring for your loved one may be liable for his or her accident. A nursing home will be vicariously liable for the negligence of its employees as well, in most situations. Whether you know negligence caused your loved one’s fall or need an attorney to investigate the cause of the accident, contact us to start your case with a free consultation.

When to Hire a Nursing Home Abuse Attorney

A nursing home can be negligent in many ways that increase the chances of a slip or trip and fall accident on the premises. The establishment may be financially responsible for these accidents based on California’s premises liability laws. If a nursing home employee intentionally pushes an elderly resident down as a form of physical abuse, the nursing home could also be liable for damages. In either case, an elder abuse lawyer could help a victim pursue justice and compensation. Hiring a Redlands nursing home abuse lawyer could make it easier to hold the correct defendant accountable.
