Placing a loved one in a nursing home is a struggle for many families. When we turn over the care of our beloved seniors to a skilled nursing facility, we trust that they will be helped and cared for—not harmed. Unfortunately, neglect and abuse are rampant in nursing homes, and many partly or fully immobile people suffer bedsores because of this. Bedsores can get infected, lead to sepsis, and cause your loved one chronic pain and inflammation.
We believe that neglect of society’s most vulnerable members deserves our protection and support. The attorneys at Ted A. Greve & Associates can help you and your family demand compensation from the negligent parties who caused harm to your loved one. Contact us today to learn more about your legal options in a free consultation with a Charlotte, NC, nursing home bedsores lawyer.
How Can A Charlotte Nursing Home Bedsores Lawyer Help My Family?
Nursing home injury lawyers, like those at our firm, advocate for the interests of people in long-term healthcare facilities. Victims like our plaintiffs are vulnerable, often immune-compromised, and rely on their caregivers for even the most basic of care. If someone who is bedbound or immobile suffers bedsores, then it’s usually due to negligent care for them.
It’s our job, as your legal advocates, to ensure that these negligent healthcare employees and the facility your loved one was in are held accountable for their negligent care and that you receive fair compensation for your damages, including the extra medical care you may need after the injury and, ideally, enough money to move your loved one to a safer facility.
Nursing Home Neglect Leads To Bedsores
Bedsores are easily preventable with a reasonable duty of care for the person who cannot move their position on the bed by themselves. They are entirely preventable and happen because the caregiver fails to exercise a proper duty of care. Nursing home residents are reliant on their caregivers for everything, and those who are bedbound must be turned to avoid pressure on soft tissue, like bedsores.
Neglect is the primary cause of bedsores. If bedbound patients are regularly moved and rotated, bedsores don’t form. We can help you file a civil suit against the nursing home and at-fault caregivers who failed to exercise a proper duty of care for your loved one. The settlement we demand can cover the cost of treatment for your loved one and move them into a better, safer environment.
