Falls and Transport Injuries
Ohio Resident Transport Injury Lawyer
If you have a loved one in a nursing home, it is important to ensure his or her safety and protection. Many nursing homes face staffing issues, and their residents do not receive the care and attention necessary to improve their quality of life.
While transporting residents to and from a nursing home, it is important for staff to ensure that the proper restraints are being used. The staff must check to guarantee that the passengers are secured, safe and out of harm's way for the duration of the trip. During the trip, it is necessary to check the restraints and safety features multiple times. When this does not happen, residents can suffer falls, strangulation, broken bones, lacerations or other serious injuries. If an injury occurs, contact Mishkind Law Firm immediately.
Cleveland Nursing Home Falls Accident Lawyer
In nursing homes, falls occur for many reasons. Often, elderly residents suffer from cognitive difficulties or have physical conditions that involve muscle weakness, balance issues or problems with other motor functions. If your elderly loved one has trouble walking unassisted, the nursing home should have a plan in place to ensure he or she does not fall. Unfortunately, due to understaffing or improper staff training, many residents are seriously injured in falls each year. Do not hesitate to contact an attorney at our firm if your loved one suffers an injury while in the care of a nursing home.
