Improperly Treated Bedsores and Decubitus Ulcers Can Lead to Infection and Death

Sometimes bed sores cannot be avoided. However, if bed sores are not properly treated, they can become infected and damage the underlying muscle and bone. This could lead to sepsis, and even death. In cases involving severe bed sores, nursing home neglect may have caused or exacerbated the injuries. Our Cleveland nursing home neglect attorneys will fully investigate the circumstances of your case and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
