Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations among older adults in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that one in four Americans aged 65 and older falls each year, and in nursing homes, between 50 % and 75 % of residents will fall annually.
Preventing falls requires comprehensive risk assessments, proper staffing levels, clear walkways, and assistance with transfers and ambulation. When facilities cut corners by understaffing or ignoring known hazards, residents can suffer fractures, head injuries, or even death. Brauns Law ensures that negligent nursing homes in Georgia are held accountable and helps elder victims obtain damages for injuries caused by preventable falls.
Beyond the immediate physical harm, falls can trigger a loss of independence, fear of movement, and accelerated decline in overall health. Families may face steep medical bills for surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term rehabilitation. Brauns Law helps secure justice for plaintiffs whose loved ones endured a traumatic fall due to substandard care.
