BedSore Lawsuit

Bedsores (pressure ulcers) develop when skin and underlying tissue are damaged by prolonged pressure—often when a resident is not turned, repositioned, or kept clean and dry. They are largely preventable with proper care. When a nursing home fails to provide that care, residents can develop severe, even life-threatening wounds. Bedsores are a common sign of neglect and are often central to claims against facilities. Proving that the facility failed to meet the standard of care requires medical records and expert testimony.

Treatment for bedsores can be extensive and may include wound care, surgery, and long recovery. Families may be devastated by the condition of their loved one. These cases can take years to resolve. During that time, families may need to pay for additional care or other expenses.

Pre-settlement funding for bedsore cases helps families cover expenses. You repay only from your settlement or verdict. That way you can focus on your loved one and let your attorney pursue full compensation from the facility.
