Injury Attorney Representing Victims of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

When you place your loved one in a nursing home, you have a right to expect that they will receive a high level of care. You have a right to expect that the doctors, nurses, and staff charged with their care will perform their duties with a high degree of professionalism.

Unfortunately, some nursing homes fail to provide the high standard of care that their patients are entitled to receive. All too often, understaffing and other cost-cutting measures put patient health in jeopardy. When nursing home patients receive substandard care, they may sustain serious or even fatal injuries.

If your loved one has been injured in an accident or due to negligence at an elder care facility, contact an experienced nursing home attorney at SAM LAW OFFICE, LLC. We handle a wide range of nursing home negligence and abuse claims, including:

All About Bedsores and Pressure Sores Injuries

Anyone assigned to provide care for bedridden patients should be intensely aware of the risk posed by bedsores. Also called pressure sores and decubitus ulcers, bedsores are not just incredibly painful — they are potentially fatal. If you believe negligence in a nursing home, hospital or other facility caused your loved one’s bedsores, legal action to get financial compensation may be absolutely justified.

Taking Action For Individuals And Families Victimized By Negligent Health Care

You likely know that bedsores are severe skin ulcers caused by failure to reposition in an immobile or seriously ill person often enough. Malnutrition and dehydration are also common contributors to this serious condition.

You may have recently, and even tragically, learned that failure to treat the infections associated with bedsores promptly can lead to rapid progression and avoidable, wrongful death. Our legal team will step in and go to work for you by:

  • Conducting a thorough investigation into all factors associated with the neglect of your loved one in a nursing home, hospital or another care facility
  • Carefully assessing all damages that may be recoverable to address added medical costs, pain and suffering, and other serious harm done
  • Applying extensive nursing home and medical knowledge, along with many years of personal injury case experience, to identify the best course of action
