Nursing homes, like hospitals, have a lot of specially designed equipment to help them lift and move residents and keep them safe. When that equipment is defective, serious injury or death can occur.
- Bed Rails: A defective bed rail may fall out of place, leaving a resident vulnerable to a bone-fracturing fall. A poor design can cause residents to be caught between the bars and choke. If that has happened to a loved one, talk to a product liability lawyer.
- Straps: Nursing home often use straps to aid in lifting and transferring patients or in making sure a patient is secure in a chair or bed. If a strap is defective and breaks or if it gets entangled around the patient, the result can be a fall or a choking accident.
- Lifts: Lifts are essential in nursing home care for transferring residents from bed to chair, to toilet, and back. A lift failure can cause serious injuries.
- Respirator: A defective respirator can cause breathing difficulties, panic attacks, and serious injury.
