Case Details

Nursing home resident fell, breaking her hip. Nursing home denied fall, claiming spontaneous fracture, but expert report confirmed traumatic origin.

Additional Notes

Our office obtained $225,000 for a nursing home resident who fell in a nursing home, breaking her hip. The nursing home denied that our client fell and argued that her broken hip was caused by a a spontaneous fracture due to osteoporosis. However, we presented an expert’s report, in which the expert unequivocally stated that to a reasonable degree of orthopedic certainty our client’s injury was traumatic in origin and consistent with a fall or being dropped. During a binding mediation, a neutral judge determined that the nursing home was negligent and that our client suffered traumatic injury and awarded her $225,000. Lawsuits against nursing homes compel nursing homes to recognize that they are responsible for our loved ones that we have entrusted in their care. Zneimer & Zneimer is committed to continue working on behalf of the most vulnerable in our society who often depend on the kindness of others for most basic needs.
