Charlotte Attorneys for Elderly Nursing Home Fall Injuries
Repeated falls should not happen in nursing homes where residents receive the care and attention they require. Unfortunately, all too often, North Carolina residents fall and experience serious injury while supposedly under the care of a nursing home or assisted living facility.
These falls can have serious effects, like fractures, bone injury, brain injury and wrongful death. In North Carolina nursing homes, residents have experienced hip fractures, skull fractures, knee injuries and other injuries requiring surgery.
At Jackson & McGee, LLP, we hold nursing homes accountable for letting residents fall. Our Charlotte law firm has established a record of success representing the victims of nursing home falls. We understand that falls are part of a larger problem of abuse and neglect, where residents are left unattended as a way for facilities to cut corners and generate higher profits.
Understaffing of Nursing Homes — It's Corporate Policy
In America today, most nursing homes are not run as individual businesses. They are part of large chains of homes run by giant corporations headquartered states away. When North Carolina nursing homes are understaffed, this is largely the result of corporate-level decision making — boardroom decisions that cut costs and put profit ahead of the wellbeing of your loved ones.
When our Charlotte, North Carolina, law firm handles a nursing home abuse or neglect case, we take action against the large corporation behind your local nursing home. This requires that we engage in complex litigation, as nursing home abuse cases are as much about corporate negligence and corporate responsibility as they are about medicine.
To take action against the business entity that actually caused the nursing home abuse and neglect, we must maneuver around complex corporate shields to get the financial judgments our clients deserve.
