Pressure sores, bedsores, and decubitus ulcers are often a sign of neglect and can be the result of nursing home negligence or malpractice. Sadly, they are the underlying cause of death for several thousand across the country each year and many patients in the New York area. Bedsores and Pressure Sores are not the fault of the patient. The patient is a victim. Nursing homes and hospitals will deny their liability and may even discharge the patient to another facility to pass the buck-- but it should not deter you from getting the justice you deserve. And financial compenastion.
Call us for a free consultation to find out if you have or valid lawsuit. There is no fee for you to sue and take on those who have unlawfully caused your condition. We invest our time, legal expertise and resources to win your lawsuit and only receive a portion of your financial award if and when we win the case.
Nursing homes need to follow the law and guidelines are in place for the safety of nursing home residents. When they are not followed the nursing home may be liable for a lawsuit.
"Just because a person has aged, it does not mean injuries, falls, or wounds, are their fault. There should be no neglect and no abuse of elders!"
You've noticed bedsores, now what?
If you notice any sign of bedsores or neglect, alert the nursing staff and attending physician or nursing home director immediately. Be persistent, because if the administration and staff are slow to respond your loved one could develop life-threatening bedsores.
Bedsores are a sign of neglect! Unfortunately, some families do not contact a lawyer until after the unwarranted death of a loved one. Be pro-active and get immediate medical and legal assistance and do what is in the patient's best interest--not what is easier for the facility. Unsure or uncomfortable speaking to the hospital? Give us a call, we can help guide you to getting better medical care.
