Bedsores

Pennsylvania Lawyers for Nursing Home Neglect Victims

When we place our elderly loved ones in care facilities, we expect the staff will fully attend to the needs of their patients. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect is a common problem across the country.

If your loved one suffered an injury or wrongful death resulting from nursing home neglect, contact our Pennsylvania law firm. Brett Tessler & Associates offers a free consultation to discuss your concerns and questions. Our experienced attorneys help you decide if you have a case, and they pursue maximum compensation for your pain and suffering.

Bedsores Are Fully Preventable

A bedsore is one of the most common—and visible—signs of nursing home negligence. These painful boil-like lesions are caused when blood does not flow freely to the skin due to pressure points on an area of the body. Should infection set in, the patient may be susceptible to systemic infection and premature death.

The bedsore problem is easily eliminated if those who are immobile are frequently repositioned or turned so sores, known as decubitus ulcers, are not allowed to develop. Conscientious nursing home attendants follow a schedule to check patients for signs of bedsores and to turn their patients regularly.

Should your loved one's caregivers not provide monitoring and repositioning and the patient develops bedsores, you may have grounds to file a case against the nursing facility. At our firm, we can help you determine if you have a case and what your options for action are. Our lawyers have built a reputation for working diligently to ensure you and your loved ones receive compensation for injuries.
