Percy Martinez Medical Malpractice Lawyers has been recognized as the #1 Nursing Home Bedsore Lawyer in Orlando for 2025, an achievement that, according to Percy Martinez, reflects the firm’s commitment to protecting residents from preventable injuries and holding facilities accountable when they fail to provide adequate care.
The firm began as a resource for preventing and documenting pressure injuries in long-term care settings. Percy Martinez explains that their system teaches families how to track turning schedules, monitor support surface use, stage wounds correctly, and update care plans all in formats that align with facility documentation standards.
Building a Strong Bedsore Neglect Case
In the past year, the firm notes, more Orlando caregivers have used its photo-and-note method to create reliable wound care records from the first signs of redness through healing or escalation. According to Percy Martinez, these records often include:
-
Daily skin check logs with date-stamped photos
-
Mobility and repositioning schedules
-
Nutrition and hydration tracking
-
Copies of wound care plans, progress notes, and specialist consults
Case Results in Bedsore Negligence Claims
The firm reports that its work has led to significant settlements and verdicts in nursing home bedsore cases, including:
-
$2.8 million – wrongful death from infected stage 4 bedsore
-
$1.5 million – multiple pressure ulcers due to inadequate repositioning
-
$975,000 – ulcer requiring hospitalization after poor wound care management
Percy Martinez notes that compensation in these cases often covers medical treatment, relocation costs, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages.
Timelines for Bedsore Negligence Cases in Florida
According to Percy Martinez, bedsore claims typically follow this timeline:
-
3–6 months – evidence gathering, wound care expert review, and facility inspection
-
90 days – presuit notice period
-
12–24 months – litigation, mediation, and potential trial
More complex cases with multiple defendants or severe injury outcomes may extend beyond two years.
Standard of Care in Bedsore Prevention
The firm emphasizes that nursing homes are expected to:
-
Conduct daily skin checks
-
Implement repositioning schedules for immobile residents
-
Provide pressure-relieving mattresses and cushions
-
Ensure adequate nutrition and hydration
-
Document wound staging and treatment accurately
-
Escalate care when wounds worsen
Percy Martinez explains that his team compares facility documentation to these standards to identify breaches in care.
Cost to Clients
According to the firm, all bedsore cases are handled on a contingency fee basis — no attorney fees unless there is a recovery. All expenses, including wound care expert reviews and photographic evidence analysis, are advanced and reimbursed only from a successful settlement or verdict.
