Did a Disoriented Patient Wander Off Before Falling?

A thorough investigation may determine whether the fall occurred because side rails of a nursing home bed were not left up as required. It may be that a patient suffering from Alzheimer's or in an altered mental state caused by improper medication wandered off and fell due to lack of proper supervision. An elderly or disabled person may have been improperly left unrestrained near stairs or in another hazardous location or situation.

To discuss the possibility that a long-term elder care facility, short-term rehabilitation center, or nursing home trip and fall accident was a result of negligent failure to provide necessary restraints, follow standard safeguards, or provide adequate supervision, contact Patton Law Practice.
