Do You Have a Nursing Home Neglect Case?

Short checklist:

  • Your loved one developed bed sores in a nursing home
  • The wound progressed to Stage 3 or Stage 4
  • Staff ignored infections or declining health
  • Hospital treatment became necessary

If these occurred, the facility may be liable.

  • Bed sores or pressure ulcers
  • Unexplained bruising
  • Repeated falls
  • Dehydration

Pressure Ulcers and Bed Sore Negligence

Pressure ulcers develop when residents are not repositioned regularly. Poor blood flow leads to skin breakdown, deep wounds, and infection.

Four stages: Stage 1 (redness, skin intact) → Stage 2 (partial-thickness loss) → Stage 3 and Stage 4 (full-thickness loss; may expose tissue or bone). Stage 3 and Stage 4 ulcers are often strong evidence of neglect.

Why Nursing Home Neglect Happens

  • Understaffing — Too few staff to turn residents, answer calls, or give basic care. See understaffing lawsuits.
  • Poor training — Staff untrained in wound care, fall prevention, or spotting decline.
  • Failure to reposition — Direct cause of pressure ulcers and bed sores.
  • Inadequate wound care — Ignoring or undertreating wounds so they worsen.
  • Failure to monitor — Not tracking weight, hydration, infections, or condition changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nursing home negligence is the legal term for failing to provide needed care that results in harm—for example, not turning residents (causing bed sores), inadequate food or water, ignored infections, medication errors, or preventable falls. When that failure causes injury, a nursing home neglect lawyer can help you pursue a claim. See neglect vs. abuse for the distinction.

Yes. If your loved one developed bed sores because the facility failed to provide adequate repositioning, wound care, or monitoring, you may have a negligence claim. A bed sore lawsuit can hold the facility accountable. We review records and advise.

Prolonged pressure on the skin cuts off blood flow. Immobile residents must be repositioned regularly. When staff do not, or skip proper support and wound care, ulcers form and can progress through four stages. What causes bed sores and Stage 3 and 4 are often evidence of neglect.

There is no set average—every case depends on the severity of harm, the facility's conduct, medical bills, and whether death occurred. Severe bed sore and neglect cases can support substantial recovery. We review your records and advise on what your case may be worth. See can you sue for bed sores and Stage 3 and 4 for more.

Generally two years from the injury or from when you knew (or should have known) of the harm. Wrongful death also has a two-year deadline. A lawyer can confirm the deadline for your case.
