Bedsores Attorney
Pressure ulcers are largely preventable — and a warning sign of an understaffed facility.
How We Handle Bedsores Cases
Pressure ulcers develop when a resident is left in one position for too long. With proper repositioning, nutrition and skin care, they are almost entirely preventable. When they appear — and especially when they progress to stage III or IV — they are strong evidence that a facility is not following its own care plan.
Bedsores cases we handle
- Stage III and stage IV pressure ulcers
- Infection, sepsis and osteomyelitis
- Failure to reposition and monitor skin
- Malnutrition and dehydration contributing to sores
- Falsified or missing charting
- Chronic understaffing claims

What Our Clients Say
“Today is Father's Day and the main reason why I've been able to spend it with my 5 year old daughter, is because my wife and I hired Mr. Peterman on my case last year. His hard work, dedication, experience and expertise simply made the difference. While being detained we hired Jody because he was the only lawyer in town who answered my wife's calls on a Sunday. He continued to be available anytime and all the time during our fight. If you hire Jody you will have an honest and straightforward attorney on your side. Mr Peterman is highly respected in the courtrooms and the system in general. You will not find a better attorney to represent you.”
“I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding representation I received from Mr. Peterman in my personal injury lawsuit. From the very beginning, he demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise. He took the time to understand the specifics of my case, answered all my questions, and provided me with honest and realistic expectations. The communication was exceptional — I was always kept informed about the progress of my case, and I felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you, Mr. Peterman, for helping me achieve justice!”
“Mr. Peterman assisted my children and I with our personal injury case. He truly has gone above and beyond in ensuring our needs and rights were met. I'm very satisfied with the outcome of our case. I highly recommend.”
“Mr. Peterman is an amazing trial lawyer. He will fight for your freedom with everything he has. He's the big dog in the fight and losing isn't in his vocabulary. Give him a chance and you will not be disappointed.”
“Jody really cares about his clients. He is a good man and the greatest lawyer ever!”
Bedsores — Common Questions
No. Federal nursing home regulations treat pressure sores as a marker of care quality, and require facilities to prevent them and to treat any that develop.
