Keis George maintains offices at 55 Public Square Suite 800, Cleveland, OH 44113, phone (866) 492-6365, with Warren S. George, Brad Krapfl, Kevin F. Keeley, and Lisa M. Gerlack specializing in bedsore cases from nursing home neglect. They handle pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers that develop when bedridden residents don’t receive proper turning, repositioning, or monitoring at regular intervals per professional care standards. Bedsores typically form at bony pressure points—hips, tailbone, elbows, heels—beginning as redness and soreness, progressing to bleeding cracks, then open wounds potentially penetrating to bone, becoming incredibly painful and infection-prone. The firm holds facilities accountable for failure to prevent bedsores by proving staff didn’t turn patients frequently as required, and for failure to properly treat pressure ulcers once started, leaving residents to languish until loved ones notice or crisis stages require hospitalization. Serving Ohio and Illinois statewide from Cleveland, Columbus, and Chicago locations, they pursue damages for medical care, lasting injury, pain and suffering from this unforgivable mistreatment.

The firm recognizes falls as the most common nursing home accidents, with elderly residents’ frailty making them prone to broken bones and serious harm. Attorneys examine why falls occurred, including unanswered call buttons, missing bedrails, transfer accidents, slick floors, obstacles, unattended wheelchair use, and wandering due to lack of supervision. Each resident should receive fall risk assessment upon entering, with fragile residents requiring assistance and precautions like bed restraints. Simple falls can cause hip fractures, broken legs, fractured arms or wrists, broken ribs, head trauma with brain injury, internal bleeding, lacerations, and internal injuries – potentially life-threatening or severely disabling for compromised elderly. The practice seeks compensation for medical intervention, hospital transfers, intensive care, ongoing pain and suffering, while forcing facilities to implement changes preventing similar injuries to other residents.
