Nursing Home Falls

More than 1.6 Americans reside in nursing homes. While nursing homes provide care to those who require assistance, they can also be dangerous. It is estimated that approximately half of all nursing home residents suffer at least one fall a year. About a third of residents suffer multiple falls in a year. Sadly, the consequences of falls in older adults can be significant. The nursing home may be held responsible if their actions or inactions were negligent and resulted in serious injuries. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney will help you seek compensation for nursing home injuries.

Charlotte Personal Injury Attorney Matt Arnold answers the question: “What if a loved one dies from the injuries sustained in a serious accident while the case is pending?”

Slip and fall accidents are more common than you may realize. Millions of people a year visit the emergency room or urgent care due to injuries sustained in a fall. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 39,433 unintentional fall deaths in 2019 alone. Falls can happen almost anyplace and at any time. If a fall occurs due to someone’s negligence, that person may be liable for costs associated with recovery.
