Breach of Duty | Evidence | Causation | Settlement
Negligence isn't about bad luck,it's about missed basics. No risk assessment, missed repositioning, early symptoms ignored, or patchy records: these everyday failures can lead to avoidable pressure sores.
How is negligence proven? By evidence. We compare what should have happened (accepted standards) with what did happen (the notes). Photographs, family observations and escalation emails help. Independent medical experts then link the failure (breach) to the outcome (harm).
If this sounds familiar, start with the records. Ask for the full care plan, turning charts, wound logs and escalation notes. Our pressure sore compensation hub explains the steps from first call to Letter of Claim and negotiation.
Most cases settle once the facts are clear. Our aim is accountability, answers and the right support for recovery, without court where possible.
