Bedsores & Pressure Ulcers

Bedsores Caused by Nursing Home Negligence

Bedsores, also known as decubitus ulcers or pressure ulcers, are one of the most common injuries that lead to nursing home negligence lawsuits. If your parent, grandparent or other loved one has suffered a bedsore, do not accept the nursing home's explanation that bedsores are normal or acceptable.

Bedsore injuries can result in severe pain, infection, amputation and even death. If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of nursing home negligence, contact an experienced lawyer who can advise you of your legal rights and options.

Bedsores Are Preventable

The sad truth about bedsores is that they are entirely preventable. Responsible nursing homes watch for the onset of bedsores. To prevent bedsores, responsible nursing home staff will develop an appropriate plan that incorporates proper nutrition, washing, daily hygiene and a patient turning schedule.

Even patients who are bedridden and incapable of turning themselves over in bed can be safe from bedsores with appropriate monitoring, supervision and care. Failure to observe and treat bedsores in a reasonable manner is negligence and may form the basis of a civil lawsuit.
