Nursing Home Falls & Broken Bones Attorneys in New York

Protecting Rights of Victims Who Suffer Falls

Nursing home residents in New York and all over the United States are at high-risk for falling and suffering broken bones and other life-threatening injuries. As a result, nursing homes are required to create a plan of care for residents, outlining necessary assistance based on the patient’s risk of falling. When this is not followed and a fall occurs, nursing homes can be held accountable.

At The Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC, our New York attorneys have protected clients from elder abuse for more than 40 years. We are well-prepared to hold nursing homes responsible for neglecting your loved ones. Concerned about your family member’s broken bones resulting from nursing home negligence? Contact us for aggressive and experienced representation. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss the specifics of your claim.

Dedicated Legal Team

For more than four decades, our attorneys have successfully handled complex personal injury cases. Lawyers Daniel Gallivan and Thomas Gallivan have an extensive background in investigating and pursuing actions for nursing home neglect and violations of patient rights. Our attorneys will review the resident’s daily charts to determine how often the patients are supervised. In addition, they will determine whether appropriate fall precautions (interventions) were put in place, including bed and chair alarms, low beds, chair locks, mats, and bedrails. Conducting such a detailed investigation enables us to determine the cause of the fall. Many falls in nursing homes occur as a result of the following:

  • Wet floors
  • Poor lighting
  • Weakness resulting from malnutrition
  • Malfunctioning wheelchairs and walkers
  • Failure to use bed or chair alarms
  • Failure to properly use restraints
  • Failure to toilet residents
  • Failure to have enough staff helping residents

We are committed to fully understanding the extent of your family member’s injuries. Our law firm employs two in-house nurses who work with our attorneys to properly represent victims of nursing home neglect. We will fight to obtain as much compensation as possible to cover medical costs and pain and suffering associated with broken bones and other injuries.

Contact Us Today

We are dedicated to proving fault and obtaining compensation for pain and suffering, as well as future medical bills associated with the traumatic slip-and-fall accident.

Contact us by e-mail or call our (914) 220-1086 to schedule a free initial consultation with one of our experienced lawyers.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

" Last year I was injured in an accident, and for the first time, needed the advice of an attorney regarding how to proceed. I was referred to Thomas Gallivan through a family member who is a lawyer in Massachusetts. I am beyond pleased with how Thomas handled my case. He was knowledgeable, professional, and although the case was not as straightforward as some, he used every resource to ensure a positive outcome. Thomas communicated with me regularly and I felt completely informed and confident in his ability. He expertly negotiated a fair settlement that I was very happy with. The entire experience was extremely positive, during a stressful time for me. Thank you Thomas. "

" Attorney Thomas Gallivan is a wonderful attorney!! I particularly liked his professionalism, consistency, always kept us updated on the case, and available upon request. He worked extremely hard and was persistent on getting the best settlement in a timely matter. I truly appreciated his prompt responsiveness to emails and phone calls. The office staff was very pleasant and made sure to get messages to him asap. Glad we chose this law firm, would highly recommend and in the event that we ever need an attorney again, Gallivan & Gallivan would be my primary choice. "

" I was a passenger on a motorcycle and ended up falling off the back of the bike due to the driver acting like an idiot. I fell off at a high rate of speed and was very banged up. Fractured wrist and road rash down my back and elbows. I am lucky I didnt die. Not knowing what to do I contacted Thomas and he could not have been anymore helpful!! He went out of his way to meet with me. He actually came to my house for the initial consultation. I know nothing about law or what my options even were. He took me through everything step by step.
