Multiple cities including Atlanta, Columbus, Macon, and Milledgeville contain poor performing skilled nursing and assisted living facilities where bedsores, 100% preventable injuries, develop from failure to maintain hygiene and reposition residents every few hours.

Left untreated, these pressure ulcers cause gangrene, osteomyelitis bone infection, sepsis bloodstream infection, necrotizing fasciitis flesh-eating bacteria, and cellulitis, potentially proving fatal for bedridden, wheelchair-bound, or immobile residents particularly when left in soiled clothing. Attorney Johnson maintains a reputation among peers as highly-skilled and respected, keeping clients informed throughout every case step while professionally and proficiently handling claims against negligent facilities.
