Nursing Home Malpractice Lawyers in South Carolina
As our loved ones age and we are not able to care for them at the level they need, we are forced to place our trust in nursing home facilities. We trust that nursing homes will live up to their duty to care and provide for our loved ones. When nursing home staff fails to live up to that higher standard, our trust is violated and serious injuries, such as bed sores, can occur.
If a family member has had frequent or recurring bed sores, it is important that you get him or her medical treatment as soon as possible. In order to hold the nursing home accountable for their neglect, the Bell Legal Group can represent you in a nursing home negligence claim. We have more than 25 years of experience helping victims of nursing home abuse and neglect.
To discuss your case, contact our nursing home malpractice attorneys in South Carolina. From our offices in Georgetown, we can help you understand your legal options and assist you with your claim.
Bed Sore Injury Attorneys — Charleston, South Carolina
Decubitus ulcers, more commonly known as bed sores or pressure ulcers, can occur when a bedridden resident is not frequently turned. They can also appear on residents who are wheelchair-bound.
Bed sores can be easily treated and prevented. However, a bed sore that is not treated or cared for properly can lead to serious injuries, including:
- Sepsis
- Bone and joint infections
- Cancer
- Cellulites
- Gangrene
While not every bed sore means elder neglect, it can be an indication of more pervasive neglect or abuse. Along with our network of medical experts, our attorneys will investigate your loved one’s injuries and help you develop your nursing home malpractice claim.
