Despite the widespread recognition of the risk from pressure sores and the recent healthcare initiatives, people are still developing pressure sores while under the care of nursing homes, district nurses and hospitals. For a negligence claim to be successful, there must be evidence that there was a duty of care and that duty of care was breached, resulting in harm. In the case of pressure sores, taking legal action may be the best way to ensure that standards of care are improved not only for your loved one, but also for other vulnerable people in the future. If you think you or a loved one has suffered a pressure sore due to medical negligence, get in touch with one of our knowledgeable and experienced solicitors at Osborne’s Law.
