If a resident suffers an injury in a care home or residential home, they might be entitled to bring a personal injury or medical negligence claim. The line between personal injury and medical negligence can be a grey area, however, we are specialists in both areas so have the expertise to assist you whatever the issue.
Often individuals in a care home are prone to falling unless they are provided with appropriate mobility aids or adequately supervised. Careless handling and inadequate monitoring could be the cause for an unnecessary fall which would be avoidable with proper care. Unsafe accommodation and equipment can also cause injuries which should be avoidable, such as inadequate bannisters, uneven floors and unsafe lifting equipment to name a few.
