Pennsylvania Nursing Home Injury Lawyers
At the law firm of Boyle, Autry & Murphy, we believe strongly that our seniors are worthy of respect, care and consideration. Abuse and neglect of the elderly in nursing homes are all too common, and some of the most troubling cases involve falls due to inadequate supervision or overall substandard levels of care.
If you, a relative or someone else you care about has suffered a serious nursing home injury that you believe could have been prevented, our attorneys are ready to evaluate the case for free and provide experienced legal counsel. Please contact us today to discuss what happened and what available recourse you may have. We serve clients throughout Pennsylvania including the Philadelphia and Harrisburg areas.
Did Negligence or Abuse Cause a Resident's Injury?
Most people in nursing homes are there because they have special needs calling for regular attention, assistance and supervision. While there are many potential circumstances that can lead to a fall or other injury-causing accident, it seems reasonable to believe that safety precautions specific to residents' needs will be taken to prevent all but the most unusual events.
We are experienced personal injury lawyers deeply committed to fighting for justice and compensation in cases of nursing home negligence and abuse. In a case involving a fall or other event causing a serious injury, we consider and thoroughly investigate factors such as:
- Were the specific needs of the resident disregarded or neglected? Had there been previous falls, or was there a clear risk of injury that the administration and staff should have been aware of?
- For an Alzheimer's or dementia patient or someone on medication known to increase falling risk, was there adequate, reasonable supervision and available assistance?
- What specific environmental factors — such as failure to secure doors, remove obstacles, clean up spills, or provide walking assistance — led to the accident?
- What action was taken, and what medical care provided, when nursing home staff became aware of the injury?
