Can You Claim for an Infected Pressure Sore?
Pressure sores are bad enough—but when they become infected, the consequences can be serious, even life-threatening. In many cases, infected pressure ulcers signal a failure to provide timely, adequate care. At Curtis Legal, we help clients across the UK make infection-related pressure sore claims, especially when these complications could have been avoided.
Why Infections Change the Case
An infected pressure sore often means:
- Care was delayed or withheld
- There was poor wound monitoring
- Hygiene and dressing protocols were ignoredPressure ulcers often worsen over time, indicating repeated care failures.
Infections can lead to hospitalisation, sepsis, surgery, or permanent disability. That escalates both the physical impact and the legal case for compensation.
Can You Claim for an Infected Sore?
Yes—if the sore became infected due to negligent care, or if early signs of infection were ignored. You could be entitled to:
- Compensation for pain, scarring, or emotional trauma
- Medical expenses, hospital stays, or private treatment
- Future care or rehabilitation needs
Our no win, no fee legal service removes the financial risk of starting a claim.
