Bedsores Attorney in New York City

Did someone you love get bedsores while staying in a nursing home or hospital? If they did, that should never have happened. And you may be able to do something about it.

I help families just like yours when a nursing home or hospital lets a patient get hurt through neglect.

Bedsores happen when a patient is left sitting or lying in the same spot for too long. The skin breaks down. It starts with redness, but if no one steps in to help, it gets worse. Much worse. The wound can go deep into the body, all the way to the muscle or even the bone. It can get infected. And in some cases, it can lead to death.

The thing is, bedsores are easy to prevent. All it takes is moving the patient on a regular basis, keeping their skin clean and dry, and making sure they're eating and drinking enough. That's basic care. That's the bare minimum. And when a facility doesn't do it, whether it's because they don't have enough staff or they just don't care, that's neglect. Plain and simple.

So what can you do about it? You call us. We'll sit down with you, go over the medical records, and tell you straight up if you have a case. That costs you nothing. And if we take your case, you don't pay us a thing unless we win.

But don't wait too long. The records and proof you need can go away over time, so the sooner you reach out, the better.

Your loved one deserved to be taken care of. If they weren't, you have every right to hold that facility responsible. You can contact us by phone at 212-233-1233 or by email at [email protected]. We're here to help.
