Alabama Nursing Home Transportation Accidents Lawyer
Elderly, disabled and infirm residents of a nursing home rely on the assistance of trained staff to help them in and out of their wheelchairs, load onto vans and walk short distances when a wheelchair isn't possible. Staff are required to be trained in proper lifting and guiding techniques. Unfortunately, though, serious falls and transport accidents are among the leading causes of injuries in long-term care facilities. Some studies show that a significant number of senior citizens who fracture a hip or other bone in a fall accident die within three months of the injury.
If your loved one suffered a serious injury in a fall, loading or wheelchair accident at a nursing home in Alabama, staff negligence may have been the principal cause. Schedule a free consultation to discuss the circumstances of the injury with an experienced Alabama nursing home abuse lawyer at the Drake Law Firm in Birmingham.
