Nursing Home Fractures
Bones only break when there is a force exerted upon them. More often than not, these forces are associated with a negligent event. If a patient in a skilled nursing facility suddenly has a broken arm or leg, then investigations generally show that there was a breach of the duty of care on the part of the operator.
Any fracture should be investigated for potential abuse, neglect, or negligence.
Simple fractures range from $15,000 – millions depending on the nature of the injury.
