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.

Untreated bedsores can lead to infections, which may spread to other parts of the body. Severe infections can cause life-threatening conditions such as bone or blood infections. Bedsores also impair quality of life and prolong hospital stays.
Can nursing homes be liable for bedsores?
Nursing homes may be liable if bedsores occur due to neglect or inadequate care. Facilities are responsible for providing proper care to prevent and treat pressure sores. Legal action may be possible if negligence is a factor.
How are bedsores treated?
Treatment for bedsores involves relieving pressure on affected areas, cleaning the sores, and applying wound dressings. Advanced wounds may require surgery or specialized care to remove damaged tissue and promote healing.
How can bedsores be prevented?
Preventing bedsores involves regular repositioning to relieve pressure, maintaining skin hygiene, and using cushions or pads to protect vulnerable areas. Proper hydration and nutrition also support skin health, reducing the risk of sores.
