(314) 500-HURTNursing homes are trusted with the care and well-being of elderly loved ones. These facilities are legally required
to provide a certain standard of care, but this doesn’t always happen. Many nurses, doctors, and other medical
personnel are negligent and do not follow the rules to prevent bedsores and ulcers from forming on bed-bound
patients.
If your family member has bedsores after a nursing home stay or hospital visit, you can pursue compensation for your
loved one’s harm and losses. Burger Law is here to help. Call 314-542-2222 or 618-272-2222 to schedule a free, no-risk consultation and discuss your case with our
St. Louis nursing home negligence lawyers.
Bed sores occur when there is prolonged pressure on an area, which causes damage to the skin and tissue. Nursing
homes and long-term care facilities are required to take precautions and frequently reposition and adjust bed-ridden
patients to prevent these sores from forming. If a resident is not properly cared for, and bed sores or other
injuries develop, the victim or their surviving family members may be eligible to file a nursing home abuse lawsuit
against the facility or caregiver and recover compensation.
Burger Law investigates all nursing home abuse claims, and can determine the types of damages you can recover for
your family member’s preventable injuries and damages. Our St. Louis nursing home abuse lawyers have decades of
experience in nursing home abuse lawsuits and are committed to making negligent nursing home facilities and
caregivers take responsibility for the harm and losses that they caused.
If your family member was the victim of nursing home abuse, and developed bed sores or other injuries as a result,
and you need an aggressive St. Louis nursing home abuse attorney to fight for your case, contact Burger Law today at
314-542-2222 or 618-272-2222 to schedule a free case
