Supportive Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Are Here to Get You Justice
Danville, IL: Office | Visit Us
Under protection of the law, Danville nursing home residents are entitled to a level of care and supervision that meets the needs of their specific physical and mental conditions. Unfortunately, many Danville residents are subjected to neglect or abuse at the hands of nursing home staff. When patients who are unable to move on their own are ignored, they may develop bed sores, pressure sores, or decubitus ulcers. These are a result from prolonged pressure on one area of the body, and can become a serious health concern.
If your loved one is suffering from bed sores, pressure sores, or decubitus ulcers as a result of nursing home abuse, a Danville personal injury lawyer of Spiros Law, P.C., can help you file a claim to pursue justice and receive compensation for your medical expenses. Contact our Central Illinois offices including Danville, IL today.
Causes of Bed Sores, Pressure Sores, and Decubitus Ulcers
Bed sores are unfortunately a common occurrence among Danville nursing home patients, affecting almost a quarter of all residents. They are most common on the tail bone, heels, elbows, and shoulder blades, and are often caused by the following negligent behavior:
- Skin moisture from unchanged diapers or wet sheets
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Immobility for long periods of time
When a Danville nursing home resident is unable to move without help, staff members have a duty to check on them and reposition them frequently. Their health and comfort should be the first priority. If your loved one has suffered from nursing home neglect resulting in bed sores, pressure sores, or decubitus ulcers, a Danville personal injury lawyer can help.
