Hoyer Lift Fall & Injury At Michigan Nursing Home
At Buckfire & Buckfire P.C we have the most experienced Michigan nursing home injury lawyers. We represent residents, patients and their families against nursing homes who have been negligent. Often, patients suffer injuries when dropped from Hoyer Lifts during transfers at the nursing home. These injuries are completely preventable, but frequently happen because the medical staff is careless while using the lift when the resident is not properly secured in the lift.
