Potentially. If the patient was a fall risk and the proper precautions were not taken there may be a case. The specific facts would be important.

Re: hospital liability
It depends on the patient's condition and why the patient fell. While there are situations where a hospital is responsible the practicality of pursuing a matter legally depends on the magnitude of injuries suffered. You should consult an attorney who has experience in personal injury cases.
