You can legally claim for compensation if you, or a loved one, has suffered from pressure sores (they are also known as bed sores and pressure ulcers).

It’s a sad fact that pressures sores are on the increase in hospitals and care homes. In fact, they are becoming an everyday occurrence.

And whilst we know that no-one would willingly inflict pressure sores on hospital patients, or care home residents, it’s happening all too often these days.

You might ask why? Well, it’s usually a matter of neglect. The saddest thing is that it can easily be prevented with a little bit of care and attention; something lacking in many of our medical facilities. There are also, alarmingly, a number of cases of care home abuse when staff perfectly know their responsibilities yet choose to ignore them. It might not be as shocking as physical restraints and bullying, but neglect is also a form of abuse.

Pressure sores are a serious problem and few of us realise that the condition kills over 1,000 people every year in the UK. This is a deplorable situation and has to stop.

If untreated, or missed, a bed sore can quickly develop into a serious physical wound which will become agony for the patient who is left in crippling pain and rendered helpless.

The Government and the country’s legal system take a dim view of abuse of the elderly and rightly so. Pressure sores are a form of abuse and those individuals, hospitals and care homes which allow them to be inflicted are culpable of a serious transgression.
