Nursing Home Falls

Nursing Home Falls

At Brauns Law, we understand the heartbreak that comes when a loved one suffers a fall in a nursing home. These incidents are far more than just accidents—they are often signs of neglect, poor supervision, or substandard care. When you entrust a facility with the well-being of your family member, you expect compassion, attention, and above all, safety. If that trust has been broken, you deserve answers—and justice.

The Hidden Crisis in Nursing Homes

Every year, thousands of nursing home residents suffer preventable falls. According to the CDC, approximately 1,800 older adults living in nursing facilities die each year due to fall-related injuries. What’s even more disturbing is that many of these falls could be avoided with appropriate staff training, better monitoring, and proper safety equipment.

These incidents are not just unfortunate—they are unacceptable.

Falls in nursing homes can result in:


• Hip fractures
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Emotional trauma and fear
• Long-term disability
• Increased risk of death

Whether due to wet floors, inadequate bed rails, poor lighting, or simple inattention, falls are a glaring sign of negligence. Families need to act not only to protect their loved ones but also to hold facilities accountable and prevent future harm to others.

Signs of Negligence After a Nursing Home Fall

After a fall, many facilities may try to downplay the severity or avoid accountability. Be vigilant and look for these red flags:

• Unexplained bruises or fractures
• Inconsistent or vague explanations from staff
• Delays in notifying the family
• Rapid health decline following the fall
• Staff avoiding questions or becoming defensive

If any of these signs are present, it’s time to take action.
