Yes, if the nursing home was negligent in their actions and a bedsore was a result, you can file a lawsuit against them. Bedsores occur when an immobile resident is left with a part of their body resting on the bed for an extended period of time. There are protocols set in place at nursing homes to move residents around so that bedsores do not occur. Bedsores commonly get infected and can result in many complications, including death. If you or a loved one has had complications with or even passed away from bedsore obtained at a nursing home, contact us immediately and we will have an expert investigate the records to determine if there was negligence involved.
