Bedsores are painful, ulcer-like wounds that tend to occur when elderly individuals and those with limited mobility do not receive proper care. Nursing home staff should be adequately trained in bedsore prevention and should carry out the necessary steps to help residents avoid developing these sores. If left untreated, bedsores can lead to serious complications, including infection, sepsis, and even death.
At McHugh Fuller Law Group, we recognize that many instances of bedsores in nursing homes and other assisted living facilities indicate negligence on the part of nursing home staff. Our bedsore lawyers are well-versed in claims involving nursing home abuse and neglect; we have the necessary resources and in-depth legal knowledge to advocate for those affected by these serious injuries. If you or someone you love developed bedsores in a nursing home or assisted living facility, and you believe they could have been prevented or better treated with proper care, reach out to McHugh Fuller Law Group to learn how our bedsore attorneys can help.
