Claim for bed sores
ONE in 20 people admitted to hospital develops some degree of bed sore, costing the NHS £5.3 billion in follow-up care. These are shocking statistics, when you consider that in most case these sores are preventable with proper assessment and nursing. It is the caregiver’s responsibility to ensure that anyone at risk of developing pressure sores receives proper care. If they do not assess the risk properly or fail to implement a plan to reduce the risk, there may be grounds to claim compensation. Specialist lawyers can give free, practical advice if you, or a loved one, has suffered with pressure sores within the last 30 months.
