Settlement of Pressure Ulcer Case
Our client was admitted to a hospital following spinal surgery where she developed a large infected pressure ulcer on her back. She required two further surgeries to treat her pressure ulcer. She required months of treatment at a nursing home plus months of home health nursing care. Our investigation showed that hospital failed to provide adequate pressure relief and nutritional support to prevent the development of her pressure ulcer. The hospital compounded her injuries by failing to notify her doctors that she had developed a serious infected pressure ulcer.
The case settled at the end of an all day mediation.
Awarded: $255,000 Settlement
