Scranton Elderly Injury Attorney
When someone enters a nursing home, it is because they are no longer able to take care of themselves properly. One of the greatest risks for many elderly people is being injured in a fall. A broken hip or injury that keeps them from walking could lead to other serious problems, including bed sores and pneumonia. For that reason, preventing slip-and-fall accidents is one of the first priorities of any nursing home facility.
At Rosenn, Jenkins and Greenwald, LLP, our Wilkes-Barre nursing home fall attorneys are dedicated to protecting the rights of injured nursing home patients. If someone you love has been seriously injured in a slip-and-fall accident, we can help you determine what actually led to their injuries and make sure they have access to proper care.
What led to your loved one's nursing home fall accident? Nursing home facilities understand the potential risks facing elderly and infirm residents. The failure to properly monitor residents or provide basic safeguards can easily lead to accidents. All it takes is one wrong step. Our firm handles slip-and-fall accidents involving the following:
- Falls from bed
- Falls from chairs
- Falls from lifts
- Wandering off
- Unexplained bruising
Our firm works with outside experts to conduct thorough investigations and properly evaluate the circumstances of your loved one's slip-and-fall accident. We can recognize the signs of elder neglect, and we will take every step to make sure the guilty party is held accountable and your loved one receives fair compensation.
