Handling Bedsore Cases
Bedsores are a highly preventable condition that can develop if a patient must remain in a bed or wheelchair for an extended period of time. Medical staff members know that they should be turning or adjusting patients on a regular schedule to prevent pressure ulcers, though patients still develop this condition. Bedsores start as shallow wounds known as stage one sores, but they can quickly progress if not properly treated. Severe bedsores can affect all layers of the skin, including fat tissue and soft tissue.
Serious bedsores can take weeks, months, or even a year to heal. During this time, patients can experience extensive pain and suffering and physical limitations. They may face medical bills for their bedsore treatment, as well as lost income if the bedsore prevents them from working. It is important to know that many bedsore victims have the legal right to seek compensation for their many losses.

Testimonials
My attorney was meticulous, intelligent, and had an exceptional demeanor with the judge and jurors. When the Jury verdict was returned in our favor I hugged my lawyer and cried. It wasn’t just the money that was so satisfying, it was being in the Courtroom with the doctor and their lawyers when the Judge told them the jury found them responsible.
We were not only pleased with the monetary award, but to see these facilities held accountable, we finally had some closure. I would recommend Sinel & Olesen, PLLC, to any family with a case involving bedsores or medical issues against a nursing home or hospital.
Elliot Sinel was our trial attorney and our whole family watched the jury trial unfold for two weeks. Watching our lawyer cross exam the defendant doctors and nurses and exposing their neglect in the care for our father gave us all a great sense of satisfaction. The jury awarded us a tremendous sum of money and we all felt vindicated…
Sinel & Olesen, PLLC, never told me to settle, instead they brought the case to trial and combined, a jury gave us close to a million dollars. I was very impressed by the trial attorney and the medical expert surgeon that my lawyers brought to court to testify.
Before the case went to trial, Elliot Sinel convinced the insurance company for the nursing home to pay us a large award. My sisters and I always knew that the medical negligence caused my father to suffer. The settlement gave us a feeling that the facility finally acknowledged their wrongdoing…
