Do I Have a Bedsore Lawsuit Claim?

Bedsores (sometimes called bed sores, decubitus ulcers, or pressure sores) are a breakdown of skin and tissue resulting from a lack of blood or stress that deprives the skin or tissue of oxygen, thus killing the skin or tissue.

Bedsores are caused from sustained pressure on certain parts of the body, usually from being bedridden as a result of a recovery or medical condition (such as paralysis, paraplegia, or quadriplegia).

Bedsores can result from a caretaker's negligence in failing to turn incapacitated patients. If you have a relative who has suffered bedsores while in the care of a nursing home or medical facility, please contact us for a free case evaluation to determine if you have a strong bedsore claim.

Am I at Risk for Bedsores?

If you are immobile due to injury or illness, then you are at risk for bedsores. Bedsores can occur within hours of pressure being applied to a particular location or body part, and can occur whether the pressure results from sitting in a wheelchair or lying in a bed. If you have nerve damage resulting in a loss of feeling in certain areas of your body, such as diabetes or stroke, you may be at a higher risk of bedsores because you cannot feel the pain to realize you need to turn or shift. In addition, the elderly have thinner skin, and are therefore at higher risk for bedsores.
