I just saw an article by the Washington Times where it talks about people over the age of 65 being prevelent to falls. (The following is a link: http://washingtontimes.com/national/20061117-120350-9392r.htm

Interesting when you read the article then you start looking at hospitals and nursing homes not having or not following fall precautions for the elderly. Obviously this is happening, shouldn't they be prepared?

I read a similar article yesterday stating that death among individuals over the age of 65 as a result of a fall has increase drastically over the years.

Have New York Personal Injury lawyers been more active as a result of this?
