How the case was built
Our client, a resident of a Tazewell County assisted living facility, suffered a left femoral fracture in a fall. A broken hip in an elderly resident is never a small injury: it means surgery, immobility, and a recovery that often takes more than it gives back.
The disputed questions were the ones that decide most assisted living cases. What care and safety duties actually applied to this resident? Assisted living facilities are regulated differently from skilled nursing facilities, and the defense leaned on that difference. What did the facility know about the resident’s fall risk before the fall? The records answered that question better than the defense hoped. The case resolved at mediation in 2026 for $450,000.
If your family member fell in a facility, the first question is not whether the facility was “nice.” It is what the facility knew about the fall risk and what it did about it. Our nursing home and assisted living practice page explains how we get those answers.
