Hayward Falls

We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and we only receive a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you.

An unwitnessed fall is often a sign of poor supervision. We use medical records and expert testimony to reconstruct how the fall occurred and why no one was there to prevent it.

Absolutely. In fact, many families choose to relocate their loved ones to ensure their safety while the legal process moves forward.

In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years, but cases involving medical malpractice or specific elder abuse statutes may have different requirements.

Hip fractures are the most frequent and dangerous, followed by wrist, spine, and pelvic fractures.

Yes, quite often. Simply "telling" a resident with dementia or mobility issues not to get up is not an adequate care plan. The facility must provide supervision or technology (like bed alarms) to ensure safety.

It is a standardized evaluation performed by nursing staff to determine how likely a resident is to fall. It considers factors like gait, balance, medication, and cognitive status.

Not necessarily, but they are responsible if the fall was "foreseeable and preventable." If the facility knew the resident was a fall risk and failed to implement safety measures, they are likely liable.
