Injuries Related To Neglect

Bedsores and pressure sores develop when the skin experiences constant pressure in one area. Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable to this condition. Doctors, nurses, and nursing home staff are familiar with this phenomenon and are trained to prevent it. To combat pressure sores, bedsores, and skin ulcers, the staff should be instructed to routinely shift the patient’s body to change the points of contact. The occurrence of these types of injuries is an obvious sign of patient neglect. Our personal injury attorneys have experience investigating claims of nursing home and ALF neglect. We will get you or your relative the compensation that you deserve.
