Thousands of New York residents suffer from pressure sores, more commonly known as bed sores, every day. If you have suffered bed sores, you may be entitled to compensation.

 

According to New York’s statute of limitations, a victim has only a short amount of time, two years at the most, to file his or her personal injury case. Unfortunately, many New York residents never realize that they were entitled to some type of compensation, or they wait too long and run out of time to file their claim.

 

Pressure sores can be disheartening. They often occur when you are trying your best to recover from another injury you sustained. They can lead to higher medical bills and a longer recovery time. Statistics show that the sooner victims contact a personal injury attorney, the sooner and more likely they will receive compensation—sometimes upwards of $200,000 or more.

Pressure sores can cause a longer recovery time, tremendous discomfort, and appearance altering scars. Unfortunately, many people do not understand that these sores are preventable. Pressure sores are often caused by unsanitary hospital environments, improper care, and negligence on the part of caretakers.
