Results in All Types of Nursing Home Cases
Our attorneys handle all types of nursing home neglect and abuse claims, including:
- Bedsores resulting from the failure to frequently reposition a person
- Fractures resulting from falls caused by failure to properly monitor a person
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Unexplained traumatic injuries likely caused by physical abuse
Bedsores in Nursing Homes and Elsewhere
Bedsores, also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers, are very serious, particularly for elderly people. They can be very deep wounds that are difficult to heal. Frequently, they are made worse by infections.
Bedsores are often suffered by elderly people who are bedridden and not property repositioned or by people who are not moved from wheelchairs. In many cases, the victim is paralyzed and may not even feel the wound developing. We take action against the nursing staff hired to prevent these wounds.
Prevent Future Instances of Neglect and Abuse
While the primary goal of a nursing home injury claim is to get compensation for the victim, these claims also have another extremely important benefit. As part of a settlement or verdict, the nursing home can also be forced to institute changes to prevent the same type of incident from happening to residents in the future. They can be forced to change their policies and procedures. We take pride in working with our clients to help prevent future abuses.
