Bed Sores and Bed Sore Complications
When a patient is immovable for long periods of time, it is the responsibility of the caretaker to take precautions to bathe, clean and otherwise care for the patient. Sadly, bed sores are a reality for already ill patients because of the negligent care provided to the vulnerable adult. In most case, bed sores are entirely preventable.
We handle nursing home negligence and bed sore complications, such as:
- Bed sores
- Fractures
- Infections
- Death
The serious infection that stems from untreated and infected bed sores can create deadly complications for bed-ridden patients. When you have trusted someone to care for your loved one, and that trust is betrayed by a lack of care, you can turn to our firm for experienced guidance.
Taking Legal Action for Neglect
Legal action against nursing homes, hospice care and assisted living facilities can prevent future harm to your loved one, as well as other elderly residents in the same facility. We can use public safety laws to further hold negligent nursing homes responsible for health and safety violations, including nursing home abuse.
Our attorneys have significant experience investigating nursing home neglect and mistreatment.
