Pressure Sore Claims
If you or a loved one have suffered from pressure sores due to negligence during a hospital admission or due to substandard community nursing care, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Our specialist medical negligence solicitors are here to help you get the support you require.
Pressure sores (also known as bedsores and pressure ulcers) occur when there is damage to the skin caused by pressure over a prolonged period of time. The heels and the sacrum are common places for these ulcers to develop. People who are bed bound due to illness or are in a wheelchair are especially vulnerable.
