New York City Bedsore Lawyers

New York City Bed Sore Injury Cases Due to Negligence by Nursing Homes

Negligence, inadequate staffing and other problems in nursing home facilities can result in subpar patient care. The presence of bed sores on residents at a nursing home is frequently an indicator of inadequate staffing or training on the part of the nursing home. If a family member has developed bed sores, or is exhibiting signs of a rash or sore, The Orlow Firm advises you to seek legal help.

Bed sores can be prevented

Our firm provides knowledgeable legal assistance to nursing home residents and their family. We have experience handling nursing home neglect and abuse claims, including those that arise from bed sores. Our nursing home abuse lawyers know the methods nursing home staff can use to prevent these injuries. These can include:

  • Being mindful of heels, tail bones, elbows and other areas with frail skin more susceptible to pressure sores and ulcers
  • Daily skin inspections
  • Proper nutrition
  • Frequent repositioning

Was your loved one injured because of nursing home abuse or neglect?

If you suspect your loved one has been injured or developed bed sores while in the care of a nursing home facility, we encourage you to contact The Orlow Firm. Pay attention to your loved one’s skin condition, weight and overall care he or she is receiving. You know your loved one best. Although nursing home staff should give your family member proper care, it is often the monitoring done by family members that prevent serious injury or a fatality from occurring.

Fee Arrangement

At The Orlow Firm, we take all nursing home abuse cases on a “contingent” basis. A contingent fee means that the attorneys are paid only at the time when, and if, you recover money damages. A contingent fee allows an injured person with little or no money to obtain competent legal assistance. At the time recovery is obtained, the attorneys’ fee is a percentage of the award in the case. If there is no recovery, there will be no attorneys’ fees.*
