Garcia & Artigliere Files Lawsuit Against Hanford Post Acute, Skilled Nursing Facility in California

LONG BEACH, Calif. - March 3, 2020 - PRLog -- The nationally-recognized nursing home abuse lawyers at Garcia & Artigliere have recently filed a civil lawsuit on behalf of a woman who suffered from multiple falls and a preventable leg fracture while at Hanford Post Acute. The firm is seeking maximum compensation from the skilled nursing facility for elder abuse and negligent hiring and supervision.

As award-winning elder abuse litigators serving clients nationwide, the attorneys at Garcia & Artigliere are committed to providing quality representation for victims of abuse and neglect at nursing homes. Recently, the firm has taken on a case involving a woman who suffered multiple falls and a preventable leg fracture during her time at Hanford Post Acute, a skilled nursing facility (SNF) located in Hanford, California.

As care custodians for elderly and dependent adults, the staff members at Hanford Post Acute had a clear duty of care to help prevent falls, which are highly dangerous for seniors and are also classified as "never events" by the medical industry. In spite of this duty, Hanford Post Acute staff repeatedly failed to provide sufficient 24-hour supervision and assistance for the injury victim in this case.

After her admission to the facility on December 27, 2019, with a right-ankle fracture from a previous fall, the plaintiff suffered a series of near-misses and fall incidents. In February 2020, the plaintiff was experiencing extreme pain due to a preventable leg fracture from a fall, but the facility staff refused to call for emergency care until her family confronted them directly.

The plaintiff and her family are currently seeking maximum compensation for the pain, suffering, and loss she experienced as a result of negligence at Hanford Post Acute. If anyone else has information about the substandard conditions at this facility, Garcia & Artigliere invites them to come forward and contact the firm immediately.
