Nursing Home Negligence Can Cause Serious Injuries
Not all nursing home injuries are caused by negligent, abusive or exploitive staff. At The Mukerji Law Firm, P.C., in Houston, Texas, our attorneys have investigated claims of malfunctioning, poorly maintained or outdated equipment. We have worked to hold nursing homes and product manufacturers accountable for serious and deadly accidents.
Even with the most qualified, competent and ethical staff, nursing homes can still fall short in protecting their residents from serious injury. Contact us at 713-581-8177.
Defective Equipment Can Cause Serious Injury and Death
At The Mukerji Law Firm, P.C., we understand the emotional trauma you feel when your family member is injured in what you thought to be a safe environment. Just a few examples of defective or dangerous equipment can include:
- A heating blanket that bursts into flames
- Broken stair railings
- Bed alarms that fail to provide necessary warnings
- Bed railings that were poorly designed or improperly installed
- A bed that was not low enough to the ground and resulted in an injurious fall
Holding the Negligent Accountable for Defective Equipment

From there, we move forward with filing a claim and strive to reach the best resolution for you and your loved one.
