Kankakee Nursing Home Falls Lawyers
Nursing home staff members have a duty to maintain a safe environment for nursing home residents and provide them with adequate supervision. Failure to provide this level of care may cause the resident to slip and fall, resulting in substantial injuries or the worsening of existing conditions. Falls are often difficult for nursing home residents to recover from, and may permanently diminish their quality of life.
If your loved one has suffered from a fall due to nursing home neglect, a Kankakee nursing home abuse lawyer can help you file a claim to pursue justice and receive compensation for any related expenses. To speak with a nursing home fall lawyer about the particulars of your situation, call the Kankakee offices of Spiros Law, P.C., today at (815) 929-9292.
Causes of Nursing Home Falls
When we entrust Kankakee nursing home staff with the care and supervision of our loved ones, we expect that they are treated with a level of respect that we ourselves would provide. Unfortunately, this standard of care is not always met, resulting in situations that may cause a resident to be injured in a fall. There are a number of common causes of nursing home falls, including:
- Items obstructing walkways
- Wet floors
- Lack of bed rails
- Lack of supervision
- Physical abuse
- Weakness due to lack of care and malnutrition
- Improperly fitted or maintained wheelchairs
