We understand that if you, or a loved one, have been affected by care home negligence, it can have long-lasting and traumatic repercussions.
Every care home has a legal and moral responsibility to provide appropriate care for all residents’ physical, emotional, and medical needs. Care home negligence occurs when a care home or staff member fails to provide an acceptable level of care for their residents, leading to serious issues such as accidents, misdiagnoses, neglect or abuse.
If you, or a loved one, is suffering due to care home negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. To do so successfully, you will need to be able to prove that the standard of care was below the minimum professional standard and that the care received was negligent. If you’re unsure if you should claim for care home negligence, a member of our expert care home negligence team will be able to help.

Under 18: If the claimant was under 18 when the negligence occurred, the time limit is automatically extended.
