Pittsburgh, Allegheny County and Western Pennsylvania Bed Sore Attorney
In a nursing home facility, when an individual is unable to reposition himself or herself frequently, the nursing home staff should take care to reposition that person every two or three hours. Failure to do this can result in painful and sometimes deadly bed sores. If your loved one is suffering from bed sores, has developed a serious infection from bed sores or has died, speak with one of our Pennsylvania nursing home neglect lawyers today.

If your mother, father, or other elderly loved one has bed sores, call us at 412-567-0847 or toll free at 877-448-3604 for your no-cost, no obligation consultation with a Pittsburgh bed sore lawyer.
Who Is Prone to Bed Sores?
As skilled Pennsylvania nursing home neglect attorneys, we advise family members to be watchful for bed sores on their loved ones. Nursing home residents are more susceptible to bed sores if they:
- Need assistance eating
- Are unable to reposition themselves or are in restraints
- Are unable to tell that they need to be repositioned
- Are underweight
- Are mentally ill or have dementia
- Have dry skin
- Wear adult diapers
Areas to watch for include the shoulder blades, heels, tailbone, and elbows.
When a bed sore develops, there is still time to seek medical treatment and cure the sore. However, the longer a bed sore goes untreated, the more likely it is to result in serious injury and infection. In the most tragic of situations, a bed sore can result in death. Our Pittsburgh bed sore lawyers are dedicated to helping you at this time.
