BIRMINGHAM NURSING HOME BEDSORES LAWYERS Farris, Riley & Pitt, LLP Personal Injury Lawyer
Did your loved one develop painful bedsores in a nursing home? If so, this could be a significant sign of neglect, so contact a Birmingham nursing home neglect lawyer at Farris, Riley & Pitt, LLP right away for help. Bedsores (also known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers) form on the skin when there is prolonged pressure on a particular area of the body. The injury damages the skin and any underlying tissue. When it develops, it causes painful symptoms. Elderly individuals and those with medical conditions are most at risk for bedsores.
WHAT CAUSES BEDSORES? If a nursing home resident spends too much time in one position on their bed or in a wheelchair, it could lead to bedsores. Nurses and other staff should help their patients switch positions or get up and move around regularly.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF NOTICE MY LOVED ONE HAS DEVELOPED BEDSORES? Bedsores can develop in an extremely short amount of time, especially if the patient is very thin, has a blood vessel disease, or suffers from neurological disease. Sometimes nursing home patients develop bedsores through no fault of the facility or its nurses.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND LAWSUIT? An insurance claim gets filed against the nursing home’s liability insurance company. The compensation you receive is reimbursement for your losses resulting from the injury. When filing a lawsuit, you seek payment directly from the facility or individual responsible. The losses you incurred as a result of nursing home neglect are called damages.
