Anaheim nursing home falls lead to injuries resulting in a valid personal injury claim. The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have found there are at least 2 falls per bed and often 3 or more falls per bed per year at nursing homes across the United States. Here in California, our track record of safety is not one of the most encouraging. California nursing homes carry one of the highest citation rates in the nation regarding patient care, safety, staffing and cleanliness. Failure in any of these areas can result in a serious injury to an elderly patient.
There are numerous falls each year in every nursing home and skilled nursing facility throughout Anaheim. The sad truth is that there is no excuse for a senior citizen or patient in these facilities to fall and be injured. When a patient falls, the primary injuries are head trauma, and broken bones. These injuries will result in substantial medical bills and your loved one will require additional care, support and monitoring for the foreseeable future. Who will cover all of these expenses and what should you do when Anaheim nursing home falls lead to injuries?

You’ve entrusted your loved one to a facility you believed in and now they have suffered a fall and serious injuries. I will hold them accountable.
The nursing home or skilled nursing facility carries substantial insurance, but these representatives always offer a low settlement in these cases.
