Why Is A Bed Sores Attorney Necessary?

Instances of bed sores or pressure ulcers are not always signs of neglect. However, when they are, it can be hard to prove. A skilled elder abuse attorney in Anaheim will understand how to uncover the truth and will:

Obtain your loved one’s medical records
Work with expert medical witnesses to evaluate your loved one
Review the training and safety records of the nursing home
Negotiation to obtain a fair settlement for your loved one
Prepare the case for trial if necessary

Bed Sores Are A Sign Of Neglect

In many cases, an elderly resident may be fully or partially bedridden. When this is the case, nursing home employees have a duty to care for the resident’s added needs. A bedridden resident is at risk of developing bed sores (commonly called pressure sores or pressure ulcers).

These are caused by pressure that limits blood flow to a person’s skin. Over time, this lack of blood flow can lead to death of the affected tissue. Bed sores can become very painful and lead to:

Infections
Gangrene
Amputations

Left untreated, bed sores can lead to serious health complications and even death of an elderly resident. Nursing home residents have a duty to properly care for residents. They must understand that residents who are immobile and those with poor circulation are more likely to develop bedsores and take appropriate preventative measures to prevent bed sores from developing.

In Anaheim, there are many facilities that are responsible for elder care, including:

Anaheim Crest Nursing Center
Anaheim Healthcare Center, LLC
Anaheim Terrace Care Center
Buena Vista Care Center
Coventry Court Health Center
Harbor Villa Care Center
La Palma Nursing Center
Leisure Court Nursing Center
Park Anaheim Healthcare Center
Parkview Healthcare Center
Sun Mar Nursing Center
Walnut Village Rehabilitation and Care Center
West Anaheim Extended Care
West Anaheim Medical Center D/P SNF
Windsor Gardens Convalescent Center of Anaheim

Choosing the right nursing home for your loved ones is a personal (and tough) decision. It is something you must decide on your own, or with the rest of your family. With that in mind, however, there are a few resources you can use to help with the decision.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System provided by the state of California lets you search for different types of health facilities, including nursing homes. The Medicare website also provides a tool for finding nursing homes.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System also lets you search for complaints against said facilities. You can use this tool to check on any homes you might be considering and see if complaints have been filed against them.
Remember, if you suspect any form of elderly abuse or negligence has occurred, trust your instincts and call us at Siegel Law. 562-414-5294
Pressure sores, also called bed sores and pressure ulcers, are a common sign of nursing home abuse or neglect. They are caused by unrelieved pressure on the skin. Bed sores typically appear near areas where the bones are close to the skin: the hips, back, elbows, and ankles. When pressure sores first show up, they’re just skin irritation. With prompt treatment, they typically have no lasting effects. When not treated quickly, however, later stages can result in serious damage not only to the skin but also to muscle and bone.
The greatest tragedy of pressure sores is that they are relatively easy to prevent. Regular movement of a person restricted to a bed or wheelchair can help avoid pressure sores. Someone who must remain in bed should be moved about every two hours. The use of a pressure-reducing mattress can help. A proper diet, cleanliness, and daily exercise all help prevent pressure sores and eliminate the serious harm that can accompany them.
The answer is no. Siegel Law takes all cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that our clients owe the firm nothing for expenses unless they are awarded a monetary settlement or we receive a favorable verdict at trial. All expenses will be deducted from the settlement or jury verdict. Not a dime will be taken out of your pocket.
