Have You or a Loved One Sufferd from a Pressure Ulcer or Bedsore While at a Nursing Home?
You May be Entitled to a Settlement.
Bedsores, also referred to as pressure ulcers, are wounds brought on by pressure on the skin that persists for a long period of time without being released. Lying in one position for an extended period of time is one of the most common causes of bedsores.
Lawsuits may result from bedsores since they are frequently an indication of neglect.
Signs of Bedsores
Nursing home residents may develop bedsores on their hips, feet, joints, and back—anywhere bones press against delicate skin—if they spend the majority of their time in a bed or chair without assistance from a nursing care attendant. Bedsores can result in infection, hospitalization, and even death if treatment is not received.
- Pain and swelling
- Reddish inflamed hue to skin

It is the responsibility of nursing homes to avoid pressure ulcers by means of quick treatment, appropriate nourishment, skin examinations, and regular repositioning. Since pressure ulcers are mostly preventable, failing to do so frequently amounts to neglect.
Families may seek legal action when carelessness results in serious ulceration, infection, or even death. A legal consultation is usually the first step in bringing a lawsuit against a nursing home, during which a knowledgeable lawyer will go over the records and care procedures.
