Ohio Bedsore & Pressure Sore Neglect Lawyer
With proper care, bedsores and pressure sores should never happen. If your loved one is suffering from bedsores or pressure sores, now is the time to get answers from the nursing home caring for him or her. Now is the time to hold the nursing home responsible for pressure sores, neglect and patient mistreatment.
I am Thomas D. Hunter, a Columbus nursing home injury lawyer and founder of the Law Office of Thomas D. Hunter. I can investigate the nursing home's policies, practices, staffing and hiring procedures. If strong legal action needs to be taken against the facility, my law office is up to the task. I am well-known throughout the state as an attorney who will handle the tough cases that other attorneys won't.
Ensuring a Healthy Nursing Home Environment
You can help your nursing home relative live with dignity and respect. Simply watching carefully during your nursing home visits for any sign of abuse and neglect by the long-term care facility — especially bedsores (decubitus ulcers) or suspicious injuries — can make all the difference.
Call us in Columbus at 888-818-3410 or e-mail us for a free consultation with an experienced Ohio bedsore and pressure sore neglect attorney. We will promptly return your messages and keep meeting schedules flexible for your convenience.
Bedsores and Suspicious Injuries Are Signs of Nursing Home Abuse
Please notify my law office if you notice your loved one exhibiting any of these suspicious injuries or suffering other problems with his or her care, such as:
- Bedsores
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Bruises and abrasions
- Infections and fevers
- Medication issues
- Frequent falls, including falls from wheelchairs or beds
- Unsanitary conditions
- Falls and fractures
- Unusual bruises
In addition to bedsores and other obvious signs, certain changes in behavior may also signal nursing home abuse or neglect. A resident may be found wandering about the facility, or be reluctant to complain about his or her treatment. You should be alert to anything that seems out of the ordinary — in living conditions, attitudes and any physical evidence of abuse.
