Nursing Home Negligence: Falls and Fractures
Due to advanced age and adverse medical conditions, nursing home patients are highly susceptible to broken bones and fractures. A simple slip or fall accident can have serious and even fatal consequences.
Nursing homes must take reasonable steps to prevent slip and fall accidents. Although it is impossible to prevent all accidents, nursing homes that fail to act in a reasonable manner should be held accountable for their negligence.

Careful Monitoring of Patients Can Prevent Most Accidents
While it is true that some accidents are unavoidable, many of the slip and fall accidents that occur at nursing homes are entirely preventable. Examples of nursing home negligence include:
- Failure to provide guide rails
- Failure to monitor patients properly
- Failure to help patients in and out of bed
