Kansas City Falling Injuries & Improper Medical Care Lawyers
We Help Victims of Falls in Hospitals
Not all acts of medical negligence involve a doctor. In fact, some of them are completely unrelated to the medical condition that has brought a patient to the hospital in the first place. One example is fall injuries suffered by hospital patients.
At the Warner Law Offices in Wichita, Kansas, we help victims of falling accidents. Each of our attorneys has more than 20 years of experience. We know the steps to take to seek maximum compensation for people like you.
Is the Hospital Responsible if a Patient Falls?
Of course. The hospital is responsible for keeping a patient safe. If they fail to live up to that responsibility, they may be guilty of medical negligence.
A little known fact is that, when a patient checks into a hospital, the hospital conducts a fall risk analysis. They determine whether the patient may be at risk of falling. Those that are at most risk should be monitored the closest.
Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Sometimes, due to medical negligence, a fall risk analysis is not conducted properly or the results are ignored. In other cases, the guidelines to be followed for high risk patients are not followed. This can result in a fall that leads to serious personal injury or even wrongful death.
Examples of Falling Accidents in the Hospital
Our lawyers can handle any type of accident case involving a fall, including cases such as:
- A heavily medicated patient is left unsupervised and, while attempting to get out of the hospital bed, falls and breaks a hip
- A patient is provided crutches or other equipment to assist with walking, but is not told how to properly use the equipment and falls as a result
- While assisting a patient through the hall, a nurse leaves the patient to stand alone and, due to the existing medical condition, the patient's legs give out, resulting in a fall and a serious head injury
No matter how a fall happened and what the results were, you can be confident that our attorneys are available to stand by your side. We have a long history of taking on hospitals that are guilty of medical negligence. We can help you pursue maximum compensation.
