Nursing Home Fall Injuries in Ontario

McCune Law Group Represents Clients Injured in Nursing Homes in the Inland Empire

The group of individuals most susceptible to falls and injuries are the elderly. Often the falls result in significant injuries with prolonged hospitalization and long-term rehabilitation. Depending on the severity of the injury and age of the victim, the recovery period can take a long time, complicated by the need to remain bedridden.

Slip & fall accidents can occur on wet and slippery floors after mopping, from spills, waxing, or unsupervised showering in bathing areas. Other contributing factors to falls in nursing homes are strong or incorrect medications, dehydration, malnutrition, or certain illnesses. Nursing home caregivers and staff are often busy or lack the training to care for the elderly, while some facilities are understaffed and provide negligent services to the residents. Facilities that have financial problems may have poor maintenance with hazardous conditions including loose steps, floor tiles, and carpeting.

If your elderly loved one was injured in fall at a nursing home or care facility, call an Inland Empire nursing home neglect attorney at McCune Law Group to pursue the justice your loved one deserves!
