Our Waldorf Bedsores Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Can Recover Compensation for Your Your Loved One’s Bedsores and Other Injuries
As our Waldorf personal injury lawyers investigate how your loved one came to develop bedsores, we may uncover other instances of negligence and damages. Some of the damages that those with bedsores often face include:
Pain and Suffering
Bedsores alone can be a source of physical pain, distress, and hopelessness. Suffering from such an injury, and not being able to fix it, can remind your loved one of their dependence on others. Bedsores also often result in infections and sometimes life-threatening sepsis. Neglect and abuse by caregivers can also cause:
- Discomfort
- Emotional anguish
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Disfigurement
- Lost quality of life
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Inability to sleep
Stress can be especially hazardous for the elderly. At a stage in life where your loved one is already at a heightened risk of health complications, stress might compromise their immune system and increase the risk of serious complications.
Medical Expenses
Severe bedsores can require surgery. Wound care and dressing, antibiotics, infection treatment, and other medical resources may also be necessary.
Your Waldorf bedsores nursing home attorney will calculate the total cost of all medical care required because of a nursing home’s subpar care.
Moving Costs
You may need to move your loved one to a different facility to ensure their health and safety. These moving costs may be compensable.
Mental Health Services
Those who suffer abuse or neglect in an elder care facility may need:
- Counseling
- Exposure therapy
- Medication
- Other mental health services
Our Waldorf lawyers understand how profoundly neglect can affect anyone, especially those in the later stages of life. Allow our team to document your loved one’s damages and pursue justice for them.

- Documenting each of your loved one’s damages with medical records, bills for moving expenses, expert testimony about their pain and suffering, and other relevant documentation
- Securing the compensation your loved one deserves, which we may do by negotiating a settlement or taking the case to court

Why Bedsores Are a Sign of Negligence by Nursing Home Employees
Pressure sores are dangerous enough on their own. They can cause considerable pain and lead to potentially deadly infections. However, do not assume that pressure sores are the only symptoms of a nursing home’s neglect. Bedsores are often a reason to investigate further. Let Jenner Law lead that investigation for you, and we may discover that:
- The nursing home does not meet minimum staffing standards set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
- Employees are not committed to resident safety.
- Employees are untrained or undertrained.
- Caregivers lack the basic skills to care adequately for elderly residents with unique social and healthcare needs.
Nursing homes must exceed the highest safety standards, as the elderly are particularly prone to injury and illness, including bedsores. We know how to detect nursing home neglect and abuse, and we will immediately investigate why your loved one has suffered harm.
