The Dangers of Bedsores

Typically, bedsores are the result of nursing home negligence. Also called pressure point sores and decubitus ulcers, bedsores occur when bedridden or wheelchair-bound patients are left in one position for long periods. If they are not treated, bedsores can cause severe pain, tissue damage and serious secondary conditions such as infection. Infection can cause sepsis, gangrene, amputation or wrongful death.

Additional Nursing Home Injuries

Unfortunately, bedsores are just one of many injuries, illnesses and accidents that nursing home residents can suffer. We also represent people who have experienced:

• Physical, mental and emotional abuse
• Sexual assault
• Falls
• Broken hips
• Medication errors
• Nurse and physician negligence
• Transportation injuries
• Restraint injuries
• Wandering off and elopement

Lack of training and inadequate staffing can also lead to neglect or abuse of residents and patients. For example, staff may not take the time to properly feed patients and may miss the subsequent signs of malnutrition and dehydration. Or, residents may be unsupervised and left to wander to dangerous areas of the facility or off the grounds.
