Medicare no longer provides hospital reimbursement for certain issues of what they consider “reasonably preventable” mistakes, including many instances of patients falling out of bed. There are several ways in which patients can fall out of their hospital beds:
- Failure to raise the protective guardrail
- Failure to properly assess a patient’s risk of falling
- Postponement in the time it takes to respond to a patient’s calls
If you or someone you love has suffered an injury after falling out of bed at a hospital, you may be entitled to compensation.
