Nursing Home Negligence Resulting in Bed Sores

Bed Sores and Elder Abuse in Nursing Homes- Silver Law Group is Here to Help

As we grow old, we rely more and more on our relatives, doctors, nurses, and other care providers to help with daily routines, schedules, and hygiene. Acute care centers, such as nursing homes, have a responsibility to their residents to maintain an excellent level of attention and care. Bed sores are one of the most common signs that this responsibility (for which your elderly relative is paying) is not being carried out. Bed sores are not only painful and unsightly, they can cause major infections. The Silver Law Group has extensive experience defending the rights of nursing home residents. If you feel that your elderly relative or friend is being mis-treated at a nursing home, contact our New York personal injury law office for legal help. We are ready to take your call.

Checking for Bed Sores on an Elderly Person

Nursing homes are staffed with medical professionals who know that someone who is unable to move easily is at higher risk of getting bed sores, and need to be tended to on a daily basis. If you discover bed sores on your loved one, you may have a nursing home negligence case, and you need to act quickly. If you have not discovered bed sores, but have a suspicion that your elderly relative is not receiving proper attention, it is important to routinely check for bed sores and other bodily injuries, such as bruises. Gently roll your relative to his or her side and check the following places for bed sores:

  • Heel
  • Inner knee
  • Sacrum
  • Hips
  • Elbows
  • Shoulder blades
  • Back of head and ears

Our personal injury law firm will thoroughly investigate the circumstance surrounding your suspicion and all staff that has attended to your elderly relative. Silver Law Group takes pride in defending against elder abuse in the New York Metro area. Be sure you have a knowledgeable and experienced personal injury lawyer working for your family. You may be entitled to significant compensation, and we always seek the maximum amount owed to you. Contact us today.
