Bedsores, Pressure Sores and Decubitus Ulcers Claims

Atlanta, Georgia, Attorneys

Bedsores (also commonly referred to as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers) are often preventable if the nursing homes and rehabilitation centers provide proper medical and nutritional care. When bedsores do occur, it is often due to a combination of factors: failure to turn and position a bedridden resident, malnutrition and dehydration, and/or leaving the resident lying in soiled clothing or bedsheets.
