These bedsores are most commonly found on the sacrum, the bones of the buttocks used for sitting, the heels, ankle and hip. But that does not mean that bedsores or pressure ulcers should be expected.&nbsp; Further, it is never acceptable for a patient to develop a bedsore while under the care of a licensed medical provider.</p><h2>Spinal Cord Injury Patients are Susceptible to Bedsores</h2><p>There are several reasons why a spinal cord injury patient is more susceptible to develop these pressure ulcers. These include the inability of a spinal cord injury patient to feel sensations, the lack of mobility common with spinal cord injuries, incontinence, loss of weight and muscle mass, depression, and poor nutrition.</p><p>Just because a spinal cord injury patient is more prone to develop a medical condition does not mean that the patient should take full responsibility for having them. A spinal cord injury patient with bedsores is unable to take care of himself or herself and relies on others to make sure that their medical needs are being properly met. &nbsp;The medical provider must take this matter seriously because the complications of an untreated bedsore can be deadly.</p><p>The medical provider is not only responsible for identifying a patient who is at high risk for developing a bedsore, but is also responsible to formulate a plan to prevent a high risk patient from developing a pressure sore.&nbsp; This often includes the use of a specialized mattress, turning the patient on a regular scheduled basis, bathing the patient daily, and performing daily skin assessments.&nbsp; If any evidence of skin breakdown is observed, it is absolutely necessary to start wound care treatment.</p><h2>Contact a Spinal Cord Injury Bedsore Lawyer</h2><p>Spinal cord injury patients who develop bedsores while under the care of a medical provide do have the legal right to be compensated for their injury.&nbsp; To learn more about the legal rights of a patient with bedsores, contact our experienced <a href="http://www.buckfirelaw.com/practice_areas/michigan-medical-malpractice-lawyer-medical-negligence-lawsuit-attorney.cfm" target="_blank" title="Michigan medical neglect attorneys">Michigan medical neglect attorneys</a> at Buckfire &amp; Buckfire P.C. now at <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>(800) 606-1717</strong> </span>to schedule your free consultation and to learn the legal rights of a spinal cord injury patient with bedsores or pressure sores.</p>]]></description><link>http://www.buckfirelaw.com/library/bedsores--pressure-sores--on-spinal-cord-injury-patients.cfm</link><guid isPermaLink="false">www.buckfirelaw.com-72205</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 May 2013 00:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bed Sores on Paralysis Patients | Michigan Pressure Ulcer Lawyer]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Our Michigan pressure ulcer lawyers represent patients with paralysis who develop bed sores and pressure sores while in-patient at a hospital, rehabilitation center, or skilled nursing home.&nbsp; Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcer or pressure sores; often occur in persons who cannot move around easily. This is why bed sores are so common among nursing home patients who are paralyzed. </p><p>Bed sores develop due to continual pressure on the skin for prolonged periods of times. Some of the most common areas for a paralysis patient to develop bed sores are on the tailbone, buttocks, ankles, and elbows. &nbsp;The skin and tissue underneath break down from continued pressure and poor circulation. When the skin breaks down, it becomes red and open sores develop after the skin changes. In severe cases, the pressure ulcer causes destruction of muscle or even bone underneath the skin.</p><p>These patients also typically have decreased sensation below the waist and cannot feel the onset of these sores and are therefore unable to communicate to their medical providers that a sore exists. Medical providers must be keenly aware of the potential for these sores and take all possible measures to prevent them from occurring.&nbsp; Bed sores on paralysis patients are completely preventable with healthcare protocols that involve proper care, treatment, and monitoring.</p><p>Hospitals and nursing homes both have rules to follow about how often to turn patients from positions such as lying on their back to their side, to the other side, and to their back again. It is believed by health experts that this turning type of routine &ndash; done on a schedule of at least once every few hours, is enough to prevent bed sores in all patients, including paralysis patients.&nbsp;&nbsp; Often times, the nursing home and its staff will make excuses, such as, &ldquo;I want to let the patient sleep,&rdquo; &ldquo;I do not have enough help,&rdquo; or &ldquo;the patient would not let me turn them,&rdquo; however the truth is that the nursing home staff was negligent in their failure to properly treat and prevent bed sores. &nbsp;&nbsp;These are not legitimate excuses and do not provide a basis for failing to turn the patient.</p><p>If you or a family member suffers from <a href="http://www.buckfirelaw.com/library/pressure-sores-and-bed-sores-in-nursing-homes.cfm" target="_blank" title="bed sores in Michigan nursing home">bed sores at a Michigan nursing home</a>, hospital, or rehabilitation facility, you do have legal rights and may be able to sue the facility for the neglected care. &nbsp;Medical facilities are responsible for the proper care and treatment of their patients, which includes ensuring that a patient, even if they are paralyzed, does not develop bed sores.</p><p>Call the Buckfire &amp; Buckfire P.C. law office today at <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>(800) 606-1717 </strong></span>to speak with one of our top rated Michigan bed sore lawyers.

Often times dog bites can result in severe injuries such as disfigurement resulting from scars, injection, broken bones, nerve damage, and even pain and suffering.</p><h2>Michigan Dog Bite Laws</h2><p>Under Michigan law, the owners and keepers of dogs in Michigan are strictly liable for dog bites and attacks. This means that the dog bite victim does not have to prove that the owner was negligent, only that he or she was bitten or attacked by the dog. There are also strict Michigan leash laws that hold the dog owner liable if their unleashed dog bites or attacks an innocent person.</p><h2>Free Book By Michigan Pit Bull Dog Bite Lawyer</h2><p>If you would like more information about your legal rights after a dog bite injury or attack, you can order our FREE book, &quot;<a href="http://www.buckfirelaw.com/reports/the-ultimate-michigan-dog-bite-animal-attack-handbook.cfm" target="_blank" title="The Ultimate Michigan Dog Bite &amp; Animal Attack Handbook"><strong>The Ultimate Michigan Dog Bite and Animal Attack Handbook</strong></a>&quot; by Michigan dog bite attorney Lawrence J.
