Ontario Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer
Fall Injuries in Nursing Home and Assistive Living ResidenceFall injuries are common in nursing homes, assistive living residences and hospitals throughout Ontario. The nursing home has a duty to assess a resident for fall risk and put in place appropriate procedures and measures to protect residents from falls. For the elderly, a fall can result in serious injuries and sometimes wrongful death. When a resident falls in a nursing home, the injuries often include broken bones or head injuries. Many nursing home falls occur because the nursing home failed to discharge its duties to protect the resident from the fall. This can occur due to insufficient staff, staff that is not properly trained, or quite often failing to follow established resident plans.
