For seniors, a fall can prove devastating—especially when that fall results in injuries like hip fractures. Some seniors may never fully recover their mobility or strength following a hip fracture. In extreme cases, it can even result in death. Unfortunately, many hip fractures in nursing homes occur due to the negligence of care providers, particularly nursing home staff.
If you or a senior loved one suffered a fall in a nursing home that led to hip injuries, a Long Island nursing home hip fracture lawyer could help you pursue the compensation your family deserves. Let a dedicated and experienced nursing home abuse attorney handle your claim.
Most of the time, the individual who suffered the injuries will have the right to file an injury claim. In these cases, seniors will need to consult with a Long Island attorney to learn whether they have the right to file a hip fracture claim against the nursing home.
However, under some circumstances, a family member may be able to file the claim on their behalf. First, if the senior has assigned power of attorney to another individual, that person may be able to act for them, including pursuing compensation through a nursing home negligence claim. In addition, if the senior passes away due to a hip fracture or other injuries resulting from a fall caused by the nursing home’s negligence, the surviving family members might be able to file a wrongful death claim for the loss of their loved one.
In order to file a claim for a hip fracture that resulted from nursing home negligence, injured seniors may need to work with a Long Island lawyer to assess the damages they sustained. Common claims include compensation for:
Hip fractures can cause considerable damage to seniors. While a claim cannot restore lost mobility or strength, it can hold the nursing home accountable for those damages.
Hip fractures often result from falls, which can occur due to serious negligence on the part of nursing home staff, including:
Many nursing homes struggle with understaffing or high turnover, which can complicate senior care and make it difficult to prevent those devastating injuries. However, staffing challenges do not excuse poor care. A claim can hold the nursing home liable for the losses suffered by the senior and their family.
