Massachusetts Pressure Ulcers Lawyer
Many residents of nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities or other long-term care facilities have limited mobility and are often confined to their beds. Without the proper care, they can develop bed sores. Bed sores, also known as decubitus sores or pressure ulcers, can be extremely painful and debilitating. They can readily lead to death. Tragically, these injuries are almost always avoidable when nursing homes implement and follow certain procedures.
If your loved one has suffered needlessly from bed sores in a nursing home or other long-term care facility, you want an experienced attorney to help you get full and fair compensation for their losses.
The Flynn Law Firm, PC, with offices in Wellesley and Marlborough, offers strong representation to individuals throughout the Metro West area in Massachusetts. The firm has a complete understanding of what care facilities can and should do to minimize the risk of pressure ulcers. Attorney Robert H. Flynn can present a persuasive case, both to insurers in settlement negotiations and in trial before a judge and jury, showing exactly how these facilities caused injury to your loved one.
Protecting Victims of Nursing Home Bed Sores
Because of the prevalence of bed sores among nursing home residents, staff and personnel at these facilities have a responsibility to regularly monitor for symptoms or signs of a problem. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons from understaffing to inadequate training to simple negligence, caregivers frequently fail to meet the standard of care necessary to prevent bed sores. Once bed sores have developed, they can quickly become serious, leading to infection and even death. These cases require a prompt and qualified expert investigation. At Flynn Law Firm, PC, we start with the medical record review by a skilled nurse consultant, followed by expert efforts by a nursing or medical doctor. We then prepare for filing suit and then for trial and settlement discussions. It takes experience.
Attorney Robert H. Flynn will keep you fully informed of any developments in your case, as well as your options moving forward so that you can make the right decisions for yourself and your loved ones.
