Listen to this case:


The Case

Mary was a resident at Colonial Oaks Rehabilitation Center in Bossier City, Louisiana, where she depended on the staff to provide her with the care and respect she deserved. Instead, she suffered unimaginable neglect:

Despite her dementia and limited ability to communicate, Mary expressed her agony: “My legs are bleeding.” Her children—Christol, Dwight, David, and Bonnie—stood united in seeking justice for their mother’s suffering.


Accountability and Resolution

Bedsore.Law, built a strong case against Colonial Oaks Rehabilitation Center, uncovering multiple layers of negligence and systemic failures. Our team pursued the truth relentlessly, holding the facility accountable for the pain they caused Mary and the trauma inflicted on her family.

After a hard-fought battle during a 4-day trial, we secured a $500,000 verdict- the cap on personal injury damages in Louisiana- ensuring that the facility took responsibility for their failures. While no verdict can undo the harm done, this provided Mary’s family with a sense of justice and closure.


Testimonial: Life-Changing Representation

Tom D., one of Mary’s children, shared his family’s heartfelt gratitude for Bedsore.Law’s dedication:

“Bedsore.Law changed everything for my family. We felt powerless against the system, but their team gave us a voice. Thanks to their hard work, we won our case and made a difference.”


Testimonial: Honoring Our Mother’s Memory

Christol, Mary’s eldest daughter, reflected on the impact of Bedsore.Law’s advocacy:

“Our mother suffered in ways no one ever should, and the facility tried to hide the truth. Bedsore.Law fought as if Mary was their own family. They didn’t just help us win—they honored her memory by holding the facility accountable.”
