Frequently Asked Questions
Are bed sores considered a sign of nursing home neglect?
Yes, bed sores (also known as pressure ulcers) are widely recognized as a red flag for inadequate care. When staff fail to reposition immobile residents or monitor skin health, it may constitute neglect and lead to serious injury or infection.
How much compensation can be recovered in a nursing home bed sore settlement?
The amount of compensation in a bed sore lawsuit can vary greatly depending on the severity of the injuries and the circumstances surrounding the neglect. Each case is unique, and the damages recovered will depend on factors such as:
- The stage and extent of the bed sores
- Whether hospitalization, surgery, or long-term care was required
- Emotional pain, trauma, or disfigurement suffered by the victim
- Evidence of negligence or abuse by the nursing home staff
- Whether the injuries resulted in death or contributed to a decline in health
Compensation may cover medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases,
punitive damages intended to punish egregious misconduct by the facility.
At Saiontz & Kirk, P.A., our legal team will conduct a thorough investigation into what happened
and work with medical experts to determine the full impact of the injuries. We fight to make sure families receive the maximum financial recovery available — and there’s no fee unless we win your case.

How can I tell if my loved one has a bed sore or pressure ulcer?
Bed sores, also called pressure ulcers, often develop on bony areas like the tailbone, hips, heels, and back. Early signs include:
- Red or discolored skin that doesn’t fade
- Warmth, swelling, or tenderness in the area
- Skin that feels spongy or unusually firm
- Open wounds, blisters, or dark scabs in more advanced stages
If you notice these symptoms—especially in a nursing home or hospital setting—it may be a sign of neglect. Bed sores are preventable with proper care, and you should report concerns immediately and seek legal advice.
