Pressure sore compensation claims
Pressure sores, also known as bed sores or pressure ulcers, are a growing area of concern so much so, that the government has introduced national guidelines in an attempt to reduce the number of patients developing them.
Pressure sores are entirely preventable. If you or a loved one has developed one as a result of poor nursing care or failure to follow the guidelines then a claim may be justified.
Types of pressure sore compensation claims
Bedsores are graded 1-4 with grade 4 being the most severe where the sore penetrates through to the bone.
Not only are these excruciatingly painful, but they can also prove fatal. Many never heal which can cause serious consequences to a person’s quality of life. Complications such as sepsis, gangrene and renal failure may follow.
