California Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers: Repetitive Falls
When multiple falls lead to traumatic injuries, taking legal action may be the best way to hold nursing homes and residential care facilities accountable for elder neglect. At The Garcia Law Firm, located in the Los Angeles area, we take aggressive and ethical legal action to help seriously injured people achieve the best possible results.
Nursing home falls often occur because nursing home staff are underpaid and overworked. They don’t have time for the attention and guidance necessary to adequately care for their residents. Left unattended, residents fall.
Falling can have serious and permanent consequences:
- Fractures / broken bones
- Head injury / traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Wrongful death
Many families who choose nursing home care to prevent falls are often shocked to find that their loved ones continue to fall repeatedly while in the care of a healthcare or skilled nursing facility.
Traumatic Brain Injury and Repetitive Falls
Head injuries are some of the most common injuries related to repetitive falls. They may either be “closed” or “open.” Open head injuries sometimes involve objects penetrating the skull and entering the brain. Closed head injuries can include subdural hematoma, where bleeding occurs inside the skull.
