New Jersey Bedsores Lawyer — Broken Promises — Bedsores and Nursing Home Neglect
When a loved one enters into a nursing home, an assisted living facility or a rehabilitative facility, an intake team often guarantees that your loved one will be treated with the utmost care and attention. In the best of all possible worlds, this would be the case. However, there are occasions when a loved one suffers serious neglect, even abuse, which can result in painful bedsores or pressure ulcers, malnutrition, broken bones or even physical abuse.
If the nursing home staff has broken promises to you, New Jersey law allows you to pursue compensation for medical expenses and the pain and suffering of your loved one. We are a Freehold law firm whose practice is focused on helping injured people pursue justice for wrongs done to them or their loved ones. Our work has earned us a reputation as formidable opponents who get results in even the most complicated of cases.

There are very few times when medical professionals consider bedsores a typical medical condition. They most often say that bedsores, except in a few exceptional situations, are entirely preventable. A major contributor to these painful pressure ulcers is nursing home neglect.
When people are temporarily or permanently bedridden, they must be moved from side to side every two hours to relieve the pressure on a particular area of the body.
Issues at play when a patient develops a bedsore may include:
- A non-mobile patient who is not adequately turned every two hours as the standard of the law calls for
- Malnutrition or lack of hydration which makes the skin more susceptible to breaking and infection
- Lack of attentive nurses or staff
