Skilled Champaign Nursing Home Falls Attorneys
Champaign, IL: Office | Visit Us
All too often, nursing home residents in Champaign suffer injuries from falling. Sadly, when an elderly resident suffers injury from a fall, they tend to not heal as quickly as they would have when they were younger, and can suffer further complications during their prolonged recovery time. Other psychological damages may also develop after suffering a severe fall injury.
At Spiros Law, P.C., we are committed to making sure all nursing home residents are adequately protected from unnecessary injury. Nursing home staff and caretakers are required to provide both safe premises for their residents as well as adequate supervision so that slip and fall injuries much less likely to occur. If assistive devices are not provided and risks are not limited to ensure nursing home residents don’t fall, this could be considered nursing home negligence. In the event of negligence in a nursing home that causes harm to your loved one(s), it may be wise to pursue a legal settlement.
Common Causes of Nursing Home Falls
If a nursing home is poorly maintained or understaffed, residents are more likely to get involved in a harmful situation. Common causes of nursing home falls in Champaign include:
- Wet floors
