Common Causes of Nursing Home Injuries in Illinois

Many nursing home injuries result from systemic issues within facilities, such as:

• Understaffing – Short-staffed facilities often lead to neglect and inadequate attention to residents’ needs.
• Poor Training – Unqualified or improperly trained staff increase the risk of errors and harm.
• Hazardous Conditions – Unsafe environments, including slippery floors, poor lighting, and broken equipment.
• Failure to Supervise – Residents left unattended are more prone to falls and accidents.
• Inadequate Security – Lack of proper oversight can result in theft, abuse, and unauthorized visitors entering the premises.

Our team works with families to identify the contributing factors that led to an injury and ensures that the facility is held responsible.
