When an elderly loved one enters the care of a nursing home, it’s done with the trust that the facility will provide a safe and nurturing environment. However, despite regulations and standards, falls can and do happen, sometimes with devastating consequences. The emotional and financial toll on families can be significant, leading many to wonder whether legal action can be taken against the facility where the fall occurred.

Navigating this landscape requires a nuanced understanding of laws that protect older people as well as the obligations nursing homes have to their residents.

Can You Sue a Nursing Home for a Slip-And-Fall?

If you or a family member has fallen while in a nursing home, you may wonder if you can take legal action against the facility. Depending on the circumstances, the nursing home may be responsible for the injuries. If items are not properly secured, spills are not cleaned up, patients are not supervised, or other hazards are present, you may have a case.

You have the right to take legal action through a personal injury claim, allowing you to win compensation for any losses. You also have the right to receive financial recovery for economic and non-economic damages related to the incident.

During your claim, you have the right to work with a lawyer or other legal counsel. When you work with Hollis Law Firm, you are much more likely to receive complete compensation for your losses and confidently navigate these legal matters. Contact us if you would like to gain outstanding legal support and representation.
