Sadly, many falls occur because the nursing home failed to follow the plan of care, or failed to have sufficient trained staff on site. If a loved one has been injured in a nursing home accident, you may want to understand how the accident occurred. These accidents can be investigated by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. In addition to the findings of the Ministry and remedies advanced by the Ministry, the injured resident and their family may also be able to bring a claim for the injury or loss. These nursing home injury claims can be complex, as the information is controlled by the facility. An experienced nursing home injury lawyer can assist. Our law firm does not ask for any fees upfront, and consultations are absolutely FREE with no obligation. If we can assist, we will usually agree to accept cases on a contingency fee retainer so that you pay nothing unless we are successful in resolving your claim.
