Pressure Sores Compensation

Pressure Sores Compensation

If you have unnecessarily suffered from bed sores then you may be able to claim compensation.

Pressure sores result from a part of the body, particularly bony areas, resting too long in one place. Also know as bed sores these lesions or wounds often develop around particular areas such as:

• Hips
• Tail bone
• Elbows
• Heels
• Back of the head
• Lower back
and others.

The sore, which results from resting your body for too long in one place, can lead to a restriction of blood flow and resultant tissue damage.

How do you prevent bed sores?

On entering hospital you should be accessed via the Waterlow System. A high score on this indicates a greater likelihood of generating pressure sores. By moving the patient, turning them and providing a suitable bed nurses should be able to prevent sores occurring. If not treated quickly they can take a long time to heal. By undertaking these actions it is estimated that 95% of pressure sores can be avoided.

What can cause sores?

• Inadequate assessment
• Inappropriate bed
• Inadequate nursing care/monitoring
• Bandaging too tight
• Plaster too tight
