Nate Leach Obtains Favorable Opinion from Medical Review Panel

Nate Leach recently obtained a favorable opinion of "No Malpractice" from a medical review panel on behalf of a nursing home. The Claimant alleged that the nursing home violated the standard of care in allegedly failing to appropriately assess the resident's fall risk and implement appropriate fall prevention measures. Contrary to the Claimant's allegations, the medical review panel determined that the nursing home facility appropriately assessed the resident's fall risk and implemented appropriate fall prevention measures, which included appropriate therapy to increase the resident's strength, monitoring the resident, providing a call-light and safety instructions, and providing other care measures which were aimed at addressing the etiology of any fall.
