At The Williams Litigation Group, we are deeply committed to protecting the health and rights of nursing home residents in Brunswick, GA, and surrounding areas. If you or a loved one has suffered from bedsores (also known as pressure ulcers) due to neglect or improper care in a nursing home or long-term care facility, our experienced attorneys are here to help you hold those responsible accountable and seek the justice and compensation you deserve.

Bedsores, also referred to as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers, are painful, open wounds that develop when prolonged pressure on the skin restricts blood flow to certain areas of the body. These injuries are particularly common among individuals who are immobile or bedridden, making nursing home residents particularly vulnerable.

Pressure sores most often occur on bony areas of the body, such as the heels, hips, and tailbone, and can range in severity from mild redness to deep, painful wounds that expose muscles and bones. Bedsores can lead to serious complications, including infections, sepsis, and even death if not treated promptly.

Bedsores are preventable with proper care, attention, and regular repositioning of patients. When nursing home staff fail to provide the necessary care, they may be guilty of negligence. In these cases, those responsible may be held legally accountable for the harm caused.
