Avoidable Harm | Red Flags | Evidence | Next Steps
Preventable harm looks the same in many cases. No risk assessment, missed turning, early signs ignored, patchy documentation. These gaps increase the chance of injury and point to avoidable harm.
First steps: note symptoms and conversations, request the plan and charts, keep copies. Our pressure sore compensation hub explains how we compare standards with the notes to prove breach and causation.
Compensation funds treatment, equipment and future support—and drives accountability so lessons stick.
