Nursing home injuries may occur in a variety of ways. Falls may be common, but there are many other types of injuries that a senior may sustain in a long-term care facility. For example, preventable illnesses or infections might also occur. You may be able to determine if you have a case based on an illness or injury by speaking with a member of Distasio Law Firm.
