This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

From chiropractor to message therapist and making sure I had that extra help like trauma counseling to get through my days! I thank you so much Rachel and Annabelle!

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

The Nursing Home’s Fall Risk Assessment And MDS Can Make Your Case

Our legal experts know the specific procedural issues connected to nursing homes that can facilitate proving an otherwise challenging case.

Minimum Data Sets – Nursing homes must record a resident’s fall history on the Minimum Data Set (MDS). They share this information with the federal government so that if a single nursing home reports too many residents fall, the government can intervene. The MDS is just one of several tools that we will use to assess a nursing home’s liability in your loved one’s slip and fall.

Customized Care Plans – The nursing home must also create a customized care plan for each resident, with the purpose of preventing falls for that resident. The nursing home must ensure that the care plan is communicated to staff, implemented, reviewed, and, if necessary, revised to prevent a resident’s falling better.

A nursing home can be proven as liable for a fall if a resident slips and falls, and the staff failed to:

  • Assess the resident
  • Develop a care plan suited for preventing that resident from falling
  • Implement the care plan
  • Review the effectiveness of the care plan once it’s been implemented
  • Revise the care plan if it is not preventing falls

How Elderly Slip And Fall Accidents Happen In Nursing Homes

Research indicates that a high number of elderly slip and falls happen in nursing homes due to faulty facility policies and staff mistakes.

More Elderly Slip And Fall In Nursing Homes Than Outside Nursing Homes

According to a BMJ Quality Improvement Reports, article “Reducing falls in a care home,” the likelihood that a nursing home resident will fall is three times that of their counterparts who do not reside in such facilities.

Nursing home residents’ chances of sustaining a serious injury as a result of the fall are 10 times greater than that of their peers who do not live in nursing homes, the article reports.

Some Common Causes Of Nursing Home Slip And Falls

Nursing home staff have a duty of care to be responsive to the different ways in which a resident may “slip and fall” and become injured.

  • Prescription medications that make the resident groggy, weak, or dizzy
  • Medical conditions, like weakness, balance issues, and blood pressure problems
  • Improperly transferring the resident to or from a bed, wheelchair, toilet, walker or standing position
  • Spills and obstacles on the floor

Often, staff members try their best but are unable to prevent falls due to staff shortages or inadequate training. Either way, the nursing home facility is liable for the injuries that happen from these accidents.
