In Need of a Nursing Home Fall Injury Lawyer in Grand Rapids, Michigan?

Skilled Nursing Home Fall Injury Attorneys in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Patient falls are considered "never events." They should never happen. In fact, if a patient falls, Medicare will not reimburse the hospital for the care provided. Nevertheless, according to the Joint Commission, every year in the United States, hundreds of thousands of people fall in the hospital, with many of these falls resulting in injury and prolonged hospital stays. Some common factors that contribute to patient falls include inadequate assessment, communication failures, lack of adherence to protocols and inadequate training. Falls are usually the result of nursing negligence.
