Redlands Assisted Living Facility Injury Lawyers
Fighting for Those who Cannot Fight for Themselves
When a loved one is injured in an assisted living facility, it can be both heartbreaking and infuriating. At McCune Law Group (MLG), our Redlands assisted living facility injury lawyers help families hold negligent care providers accountable. Whether the harm results from neglect, a preventable fall, or medication errors, we fight to ensure residents receive the dignity and protection they deserve.
What Are Assisted Living Facility Injury Cases?
Assisted living facilities in Redlands provide non-medical care for elderly residents who need help with daily living — such as meals, hygiene, or medication management. While these facilities are not hospitals, they are still legally required to provide safe and attentive care. When that duty is breached, serious injuries can occur.
Common Types of Assisted Living Facility Negligence:
- Falls and Mobility Injuries: Residents who need assistance walking or transferring often fall due to understaffing, lack of supervision, or hazards like wet floors.
- Medication Errors: Wrong dosages, skipped medications, or mixing incompatible drugs can lead to hospitalization or death.
- Neglect and Malnutrition: Ignoring residents’ basic needs — like hydration, hygiene, and nutrition — can cause infections or cognitive decline.
- Inadequate Staffing and Training: Many assisted living injuries occur because facilities fail to hire or train enough caregivers.

Ask an Assisted Living Injury Lawyer – FAQ
How do I know if an injury was caused by neglect?
“Many assisted living injuries are preventable. If your loved one fell, developed bedsores, or was hospitalized due to medication errors, it is worth investigating whether the facility failed in its duty of care.” – Cory R. Weck, Practice Area Leader at McCune Law Group
Are assisted living facilities held to the same standard as nursing homes?
Not exactly. Assisted living centers provide non-medical care, but they must still maintain a safe environment and properly manage medications. Neglect of these duties can create legal liability.
Can I sue an assisted living facility for negligence?
Yes. If the facility’s actions or lack of care directly caused harm, you may have grounds for a personal injury or wrongful death claim.
What damages can families recover?
Potential compensation includes medical bills, rehabilitation costs, pain, and suffering, and — in severe cases — punitive damages for willful neglect.
What are assisted living facility injury cases?
Assisted living facility injury cases can be made when a loved one in assisted living is harmed due to a fall or mobility injury, medication errors, neglect or malnutrition, or inadequate staffing and training. Assisted living facilities are legally required to provide safe and attentive care. When that duty is breached, serious injuries can occur.
