Pleasant Law, PLLC, led by attorney Thomas Pleasant from offices in Wilmington (PO Box 3673) and Raleigh (4801 Glenwood Ave Suite 277), represents North Carolina nursing home fall victims with national recognition for trying cases to verdict. According to CDC data showing falls as the leading cause of death for seniors 65+ in 2019, with nursing homes reporting 100-200 falls per 100 residents annually, the firm investigates inadequate staffing as the primary contributor to resident falls. North Carolina law requires proper fall prevention strategies, yet understaffing leaves residents prone to falling when alone, especially those with walking difficulties, extended standing problems, or medication side effects causing serious fractures, lacerations, head injuries, concussions, and traumatic brain injuries. Attorney Pleasant, recognized by colleagues as “one of the few who have actually tried these types of cases to verdict on behalf of a nursing home resident,” handles cases where facilities failed to minimize fall risks despite legal obligations. With testimonials praising his conscientious, adaptable approach achieving favorable outcomes, Pleasant Law addresses nursing home head injuries and complications from preventable falls. The practice offers free initial consultations at (919) 867-5575, fighting for justice when inadequate staffing increases fall likelihood and head injury risks.
