Many seniors are at an increased risk of falling down and hurting themselves. When living in a nursing home or assisted living facility, it is the responsibility of the care facility to identify the risk and work to eliminate it. If your loved one was injured in a fall, an experienced personal injury lawyer can help you understand your rights. Falls in nursing homes should never happen; contact The Law Offices of John M. McCabe today.

Failing to reduce the chances of a fall, such as putting rails on a bed or placing someone in a wheelchair, can result in serious and catastrophic injuries for nursing home residents. Falls can be fatal in some cases, particularly those involving hip fractures.

This fee structure ensures we work hard for your case and that you don't have even more out-of-pocket expenses during a stressful time. We also offer contingency fee schedules for other practice areas, such as:
