Bedrail Entrapment Injuries in Nursing Homes

Bed rails are intended to assist residents, but improperly installed, maintained, or used bedrails can create deadly hazards. Entrapment incidents can restrict breathing, cause traumatic injuries, and result in fatal asphyxiation.

Our Minnesota nursing home injury lawyers investigate bedrail entrapment cases involving serious injury or wrongful death.

Common Causes of Entrapment
• Improper assessment of residents
• Defective equipment

• Inadequate maintenance
• Failure to follow safety guidelines

Why These Cases Matter
Entrapment incidents are often preventable. Facilities must assess risks and use appropriate equipment to protect residents.

Our Approach
