Statistics On Nursing Home Falls

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, around 1.6 million nursing home residents experience falls per year, as well as up to 1 million hospitalized patients. One in three of these falls cause serious injury. Patients and nursing home residents often have trouble with strength, coordination and balance. They depend on hospital staff to keep them safe when getting in and out of bed, using the toilet and walking the hallways.

Despite training and policies to protect patients from falls, they still happen. Many times, patients fall because the nurse or orderly who was supposed to support them did their job improperly. At , we will help you pick up the pieces and fight for just compensation from the hospital or care facility that negligently harmed you or your relative. Your pain and suffering, medical bills and other damages deserve to be paid by those who injured you, not you and your family.
