You should contact a local personal injury attorney. They take cases like this on a contingency basis which means you only pay them if they are successful. Additionally, they provide initial consultations for free. Most hospitals have strict fall protocols for people who are fall risks. It's likely that the nurse was required to do more than merely offer you a wheelchair.
Please
note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your
attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in
the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John
