The Clinical Negligence Department have successfully claimed damages for many clients who have suffered bedsores while in-patients at NHS hospitals because of a failure of staff to carry out standard procedures of periodically changing the patient’s position and generally acting to prevent the beginning of such bedsores.
These cases can attract substantial damages awards as the patients can be very seriously affected by this condition in terms of pain, the effects of pain relief medication, loss of mobility and general enjoyment of life. We have secured substantial awards in such cases.
If you or anyone you know has been affected please do not hesitate to contact the Medical Negligence Department who will be pleased to give you free initial advice as to whether there may be a claim for damages.
