My loved one fell in a nursing home and broke their hip. What should I do?

First, ensure your loved one receives appropriate medical treatment. Then document everything: ask the facility for a copy of the incident report, take photos of any visible injuries, and write down the date, time, and circumstances. Request your loved one’s care plan and recent medical records. Then contact an experienced nursing home fall attorney as soon as possible — critical evidence like staffing logs and surveillance footage can be overwritten or destroyed quickly.
