It may be in your best interest to speak with a nursing home abuse lawyer if you believe that Kentucky nursing home negligence was the cause of your loved one’s injuries. To learn what legal options may be available and if compensation could be recoverable, contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

One potentially life-threatening injury that an elderly resident can sustain is a hip fracture. If it is caused by negligence, such as a failure to provide assistance or ensure a safe environment, it may lead to the nursing home facility and/or caregiver being held liable. 

Treatment of a hip fracture may include: 

• medication (to reduce the chance of a 2^nd fracture);
• traction (if surgery is too risky);
• surgery (hip replacement, hemiarthroplasty); and
• rehabilitation (physical therapy, exercises, extended care facility, occupational therapy). 

The cost and care of treating a hip fracture may be compensated through a claim. There could be additional damages that your loved one may also be entitled to receive.

To learn if you can hold a nursing home facility liable for your loved one’s hip fracture, consult a nursing home abuse lawyer as soon as possible. You may be able to file a Kentucky nursing home negligence claim.
