If you or a loved one has been a patient at any Baptist Health Hospital in Florida and has suffered from bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, it is crucial to understand that this might be a result of hospital malpractice. Baron, Herskowitz, and Cohen is a law firm dedicated to advocating for patients’ rights and ensuring that victims of hospital negligence receive the compensation and justice they deserve.
Bed Sores: A Sign of Neglect at Baptist Health Hospitals
Bed sores are injuries to skin and underlying tissues resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin. They often develop on skin that covers bony areas of the body, such as heels, ankles, hips, and tailbones. In hospital settings, patients who are immobile or have limited ability to change positions without assistance are at a higher risk of developing these sores.
The occurrence of bed sores in a hospital setting, especially at well-known institutions like Baptist Health Hospitals, can be a strong indicator of nursing neglect. Patients are entitled to receive regular monitoring and repositioning to prevent pressure ulcers, along with appropriate skin care and nutritional support. When this standard of care is not met, the hospital may be liable for the resulting harm.
