What Are Bedsores?
Bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers, result from prolonged pressure, friction, or shear forces on the skin. They commonly occur in individuals who are immobile or have limited mobility and spend long periods in bed or sitting. Bony areas of the body are particularly prone to developing bedsores, including the sacrum (lower back), heels, hips, elbows, shoulders, and back of the head.
Arizona Laws Concerning Bedsores & Improper Care
Arizona has laws and regulations in place to protect patients’ rights and ensure proper care. The Adult Protective Services Act aims to safeguard vulnerable adults from abuse and neglect, while the Arizona Nursing Care Institution Abuse and Neglect Act outlines regulations for nursing homes and long-term care facilities. The Arizona Administrative Code sets standards for patient care, prevention of pressure ulcers, and reporting of adverse events.
Legal Rights In Az If A Loved One Has Bed Sores
If your loved one has developed bedsores due to neglect or improper care, they have the right to receive proper medical care and treatment. You can file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory authorities, and if negligence or improper care caused harm, you may have the right to pursue legal action, such as a medical malpractice or negligence lawsuit, seeking compensation for damages.

Many of these families came to us after discovering neglect in a nursing home or care facility.
“Teri Rowe and the team at MKR are highly recommended. My family and I went to Teri under the worst of circumstances and she was always kind, comforting, and helpful. Our case was complicated, sad, confusing and frustrating. She managed everything wonderfully. Our family lawyer referred us to Teri because Teri has a reputation for being the best. She definitely lives up to her reputation.”

From day one to the end, their empathy, their professionalism and their confidence in our case never wavered. We were given the faith and they kept it. Their approach was completely professional but their concern for our case was equally personal. They took into account every little detail. They valued for us, our family values and ensured justice was done.

“From our initial consultation to our final settlement. Miller, Kory and Rowe was with us every step of the way. Gabe and team kept us abreast of any updates on the case in a timely fashion and were always, often within minutes of an email, to walk us through what was happening in our case or clarify any questions we may have.
MKR’s compassion and thoughtfulness was genuine and was able to ease our minds in what was a difficult time with the passing of our mom. Gabe’s experience with these cases was very evident in our interactions and we had the utmost confidence in his representation. I would highly recommend MKR if you are ever in need of an attorney.”
