Our firm has handled a variety of nursing home cases including the one of an elderly gentleman that went to live in a nursing home due to his deteriorating health. During his stay at the nursing home, our client fell off his bed onto the floor. He attempted to get up, but was crawling on the floor for more than 15 minutes until someone came to help him. Due to the fall, the gentleman suffered a fractured hip. After investigating the incident, it was determined that the fall could have been avoided if both of the side rails of the bed were up. Additionally, the jury found the nursing home responsible for nursing home negligence, and violations of nursing home rights.
