Bergen County Pressure Ulcer Lawyers
One of the visible signs of nursing home abuse and neglect is the bedsore or pressure sore, also known as a pressure ulcer or decubitus ulcer.
If the nursing home resident in your New York or New Jersey family is suffering from one or more bedsores, this often means that his or her nursing home is not doing its job. Its employees are responsible for repositioning immobile nursing home patients to prevent this kind of painful nursing home injury.

Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C., Law Firm Protects Your Loved One's Rights
Bedsores and pressure sores are preventable, painful, and if left untreated, can become infected — and serious enough to cause wrongful death.
These sores are caused by:
- Failure to regularly reposition an immobile patient
- Malnutrition, malnourishment or dehydration
- Lack of adult diaper changes that repel moisture
- Insufficient pressure-relief mattress
The very least you can expect from these legal difficulties is full financial compensation for your loved one's ordeal, to reflect the burdens of medical expenses, ongoing health care costs, and pain and suffering. We work hard toward this goal on a contingency fee basis — you will owe no attorney fee to our law firm unless we win your case, and a settlement damage award.
You want the most humane, caring conditions possible for your elderly loved one's twilight years. If he or she is not receiving them, this is where we come in — Kantrowitz, Goldhamer & Graifman, P.C. Contact us immediately if you suspect that your family's nursing home patient is being neglected or abused.
