Nursing and Care Home Abuse Claims

 

Nursing and Care Home Abuse Claims

Taking the decision to allow a non- family member to look after our loved ones is never an easy decision to make and you would expect that whoever is charged with the task of looking after your relative will treat them with the care and dignity they deserve. It is therefore extremely upsetting when you discover that your relative has been suffering due to neglect or even abuse.

Our panel of solicitors are able to deal with clinical negligence claims arising from injuries sustained whilst in the care of a residential, nursing or care Homes.  Such claims can include:

  •          Pressure Sores or Beds Sores

  •          Poor or inadequate supervision resulting in trips and falls.

  •          Poor attention to nutrition and hydration.

  •          Physical Abuse

When unacceptable care or neglect by the staff of a nursing home causes an injury to a resident, the nursing home can be sued for compensation.  Whilst this may seem small conciliation for the suffering your loved one has gone through, it often results in improvements being made which will benefit other existing and future residents.

If you, or a loved one, has suffered through neglect, or has injured themselves whilst in the care of a residential or nursing home, contact us today to see if you are able to make a negligence claim.
