Nursing Home Bed Sore Lawyer Dallas, TX

Bed sores form when someone lies in one position for a prolonged period of time. The pressure of a person’s weight stretches the skin and weakens it. Eventually, the skin tears and painful blisters and sores appear. The sores themselves are bad enough, but the real risk with bedsores is infection. Left untreated, these open sores get contaminated with bacteria and even the person’s own waste.

People who are bedbound, unable to turn and move without assistance, are at high risk for developing bed sores unless they are manually moved and turned over by a caregiver. Failure of the caregiver to turn the patient regularly leads to bedsores. We can presume that if someone in a nursing home is neglected to the point of developing bedsores, they probably aren’t bathed as often as they should be, either, which creates conditions where deadly MRSA and other infections are more likely.

Our Dallas nursing home bed sores lawyer fights for your loved one. We know the pain and helplessness they (and your family) must be feeling. Our team investigates the facility where your loved one is staying and gathers evidence of neglect. We hold not just the nurses, CNAs, and caregivers accountable but also the facility itself. It’s fairly common to name the nursing home as a defendant in these cases, citing inadequate training and supervision of the staff members and failure to provide proper care for residents. We know that no amount of money can erase the neglect and abuse your loved one suffered. It’s our goal to secure a top-dollar settlement to provide your family the means to get your loved one good medical care and move them into a home where they will be cared for properly.
