Was Your Loved One Harmed by a Stage III or IV Bedsore in a San Mateo Nursing Home?

It is one of the most visible and shocking signs of neglect: a severe, open wound on your loved one's back, heel, or hip. A Stage III or Stage IV bedsore (or "pressure ulcer") is an advanced, life-altering injury.

If this has happened to your family member in a San Mateo facility, you are likely feeling a mix of grief and rage. You should know that these injuries are almost never an unavoidable part of aging. They are evidence that the facility failed in its most basic duty of care. For over 20 years, Nursing Home Law Group has fought for California families like yours.

Caregivers are trained to identify residents who are at high risk for bedsores and implement a plan to prevent them. A severe bedsore is proof that this plan was either non-existent or completely ignored.

Stage III Bedsores: These are deep wounds that penetrate through the skin into the fatty tissue.

Stage IV Bedsores: This is the most severe stage. The wound is so deep that muscle, bone, or tendons are visible. The risk of fatal infection is extremely high.

This level of decay does not happen overnight. It happens over weeks or months of consistent, inexcusable neglect.

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities in California are held to a high "standard of care." When they fail to meet this standard, they are committing negligence. When that negligence results in a severe bedsore, your family has the right to file a civil lawsuit.

California's Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (EADACPA) provides powerful tools to hold facilities accountable. A successful claim, built by an experienced Santa Clara nursing home bedsore lawyer, can secure compensation for your loved one's suffering, medical treatment, and other damages.

Facilities will not admit fault. They will claim your loved one was "non-compliant" or "medically complex." This is where we come in.

We investigate staffing levels, deposition witnesses, and hire medical experts to prove that the facility's negligence—not your loved one's health—was the cause of the wound.
