California Nursing Home Slip-and-Fall Lawyers
Has an elderly loved one fallen and suffered a serious personal injury while in the care of a nursing home? Senior citizens are particularly susceptible to broken bones when falling down steps or slipping in showers or elsewhere. When seniors suffer broken hips, broken ankles, broken legs, broken arms and other broken bones, their recovery period is significantly longer than that of younger people. That is why it is so important that nursing home staff take care to prevent slip-and-fall accidents. If you believe that a fall happened because of staff negligence, you should discuss your case with an experienced attorney immediately.
With more than 25 years of experience, the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth knows how to resolve these matters. We offer legal services in Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese Chinese, Spanish and English, so we can clearly explain your legal rights without any jargon. We are ready to help you.

Was the Fall Preventable?
There are many strategies used at nursing homes to prevent falls. Rails are put up on beds at night to prevent elderly residents from falling out of bed. Safety equipment is installed in showers and bathrooms to prevent falls on these especially slippery surfaces. Perhaps most important, residents should be monitored, particularly those who have limited mobility.
All too often, falls could have been prevented simply by having nursing home staff watch the resident a little more closely. Understaffing is becoming all too common in nursing homes, but it is no excuse for the injuries caused by slip-and-fall accidents. Our attorneys hold nursing homes accountable for falling injuries suffered by residents.
