Care Home Negligence Compensation Claims
What are Care Home Negligence Claims?
When elderly or vulnerable people reside in care homes they should be provided with a good level or care and protection of their health and safety. In most instances when people reside in care homes they receive an excellent level of care, however, there are of course some exceptions to this and cases where poor medical treatment and negligence lead to loved ones becoming ill or injured. When care home residents become ill or injured doo to negligent treatment, they are often able to claim compensation for care home negligence.
Common Types of Medical Negligence in Care Homes
Negligence can occur in many ways in care homes. Here at Rees Clayton Solicitors we have assisted individuals in successfully claiming compensation for care home negligence for multiple reasons, including but not limited to the following:
- Pressure sores because of a patient’s skin being in contact with a bed for a prolonged period of time or plaster being put on incorrectly after a fracture.
- Medication and prescription errors that have led to patients developing serious conditions, making them very ill instead of helping them recover.
- Injuries from fractures from falls and handling that could have been avoided with proper care. For example individuals not being provided with appropriate mobility aid, not being adequately supervised or being handled by staff carelessly.
- Injuries from deliberate neglect or abuse.
