California Bed Sore Compensation
Bed sores are often caused because of the negligence of a doctor, nurse or caretaker. If you or a loved one suffers from bed sores that were caused by a third party, you may be entitled to compensation. According to California’s statute of limitations, a victim has only two years to file his or her bed sore injury case. Unfortunately, many California residents never realize that they were entitled to some type of compensation for their bed sores, or they wait too long and run out of time to file their claim.
Bed sores can turn into serious, life-threatening illnesses. Skin can become so damaged that it never heals, and the muscle, tissue and bone below the bed sores can deteriorate. The damaged skin and tissue can become inflamed and infected. Bed sores can heal incorrectly and cause pain for years afterward…sometimes for life. That’s why most legal experts advise that you take action now. The compensation you may receive can be upwards of $50,000 or more, depending on your bed sore injury.
