Towards the end of life bedsore appear however good the care has been. the lawyer would have you believe that bedsores are always due to negligent care. Sometimes they are and sometimes they aren't
What are her damages? She can find an attorney to sue, but there has to be several things in order to sustain the suit:
1. Another medical professional to testify that the standard of care for prevention and treatment of bedsores was breached by the facility in which she developed the sore;
2. That her damages are sufficient to justify compensation.
Her age, healthy, statistical longevity for someone in her situation are factors that would influence any damages.
Where is she? A nursing home? I cannot imagine suing for a bedsore. Does she have lots of them? Is she able to get out of bed? Is she well cared for or are ther other problems. Unfortunately bedsores are a very common problem and cause by just being in bed. Changing positions is veryimportant soit is notthe same area that is always next to the sheets.
