Can the nursing home be held responsible for delayed treatment after the fall?

Absolutely. If nursing home staff failed to timely recognize serious injuries after a fall — such as a subdural hematoma, hip fracture, or internal bleeding — and that delay caused or accelerated your loved one’s death, the facility can be liable for both the fall and the inadequate post-fall response. This is a common pattern we see in fatal nursing home cases, and it significantly increases the value of the claim.
