Bed Sores

Representing the Powerless against the Powerful

Bedsores are preventable. With good care, they can be avoided. If you notice reddened areas – especially at pressure points – talk to the caregiver. If the answers are evasive or unsatisfactory, you may need a bed sore injury attorney to prevent further injury to your loved one.

Nursing Home Pressure Sores and Ulcers

Bedsores can be the result of too much pressure from remaining in the same position for a prolonged period of time. Patients who cannot move on their own should be repositioned every two hours. Generally, elderly people have poor skin integrity, and their thin skin is easily injured. Padding and a good mattress can help protect pressure points.

Bedsores can also be an indication of poor nutrition. Patients need proper nutrients to replenish the skin’s ability to heal.

Another cause of bedsores is moisture. Is the patient kept dry? Are the bed sheets wet from incontinence? The patient should be changed regularly or taken to the bathroom regularly.

Bedsores can cause substantial health risks. Bedsores are a highway for infection entering the body. The infection can result in an open wound that gets to the bone, causes bone infection, and even amputation. Pressure sores, ulcers, and bedsores are painful and dangerous – and preventable.

Our nursing home neglect law firm represents elderly people and their families in nursing home neglect and financial abuse cases throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Our nursing home neglect attorneys represent the powerless against the powerful.
