At Bedsore.Law, our mission is to provide unwavering support to families facing the devastating consequences of nursing home neglect. One recent case highlights both the seriousness of elder care negligence and our relentless dedication to securing justice for our clients.
Listen to this case:
In January 2023, our 78-year-old client—a devoted husband and father from Santa Clara, California—entered a nursing facility after suffering a hip fracture from a fall at home. Initially, his prognosis was promising, and his family was hopeful for a smooth recovery. Tragically, within a short time, the facility’s negligence led to the development of a Stage 2/3 bedsore, requiring an urgent transfer to a hospital for treatment.
After being discharged from the hospital, our client entered a second nursing facility, where the situation worsened. Despite this new facility’s assurances of proper care, his treatable bedsore progressed into an infected Stage 4 wound with exposed bone. Over the following months, he endured painful treatment, including multiple debridement surgeries and two skin flap surgeries, before his wound finally healed.
During litigation, our attorneys uncovered critical failures in the care provided by both facilities. The investigation revealed that:
These findings painted a clear picture of negligence, further fueling our determination to achieve justice.
Despite the challenges posed by the case, our attorneys secured a $1.7 million settlement in less than a year from filing the lawsuit. This outcome not only provided financial compensation but also gave our client and his family a sense of closure during a long and difficult recovery.
As our attorneys explained, “This settlement will not take away the pain and suffering our client endured, but it will provide him and his wife with closure and relatively quick compensation during a difficult recovery period.”
