Care home negligence claims

About care home negligence claims

Care homes and nursing homes carry a fundamental duty of care. When that duty is breached, through neglect, abuse, or clinical failure, the consequences can be life-altering and extremely distressing.

Care home negligence takes many forms. From malnutrition, dehydration and medication errors to untreated pressure sores, neglected infections, falls caused by inadequate support and physical or emotional abuse by staff. If standards of care fall below what residents and families are entitled to expect, in many cases, they should be addressed and challenged.

Making a claim does more than seek justice, it aims to secures the financial support needed to fund medical treatment, rehabilitation, or a move to a safer environment.
