Was your loved one’s nursing home injury or fatality caused by neglect? What factors led to the nursing home fall which resulted in injury or a wrongful death? Did the patient have Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or other special needs which required special care, attention or supervision?
The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have well documented the risks associated with falls and injuries in nursing homes across the US, and here in Louisville and Central Kentucky. Many of our elderly family members will require assisted living at some point in their lives. Families choose this facility with utmost care and concern for their loved one. The shock and anger which result when a loved one’s nursing home injury or fatality is due to neglect or understaffing is justified.
The experienced personal injury attorneys at Hargadon, Lenihan & Herrington, PLLC have represented accident and injury victims in Louisville and across Kentucky since 1924. We understand the frustration you feel after a beloved senior, your parent, grandparent of extended family member experiences an injury in a nursing home or extended care facility. We work aggressively to determine the factors which contributed to the fall, injury and/or wrongful death and hold the nursing home or assisted living facility financially accountable for what has happened.
Falling or suffering an injury is a catastrophic event for any senior. The type of fall which might result in light bruises for a younger person can result in a broken hip, head injuries, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other painful and debilitating injuries. Unfortunately, the number of falls which result in a nursing home injury or fatality caused by neglect are quite high in Kentucky and across the nation.
