Nursing Home Claims
No matter how prepared you might be, it is always difficult to see your relatives suffering in later years of their lives. Injury+ lawyers can help you seek settlements so our clients have a better quality of life and better levels of care.
Injury+ has specialist clinical negligence solicitors that deal with claims arising from injuries sustained by residents at nursing homes and elderly patients at hospital.
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. Injury+ solicitors are regularly instructed by residents of nursing homes (or their families) who develop pressure sores. Pressure sores are usually both foreseeable and preventable and require specialist management. Without the right kind of management the consequences can be devastating, often including infection or long standing open wounds requiring further surgery. Other examples of poor care include the failure to provide adequate supervision and assistance to avoid tripping or falling accidents and lack of attention to hydration and nutrition.
The residents of nursing homes are often elderly and vulnerable. Our injury+ lawyers understand how distressing it is to see a loved one suffer in this way. We can provide the expert legal advice to the resident of the nursing home and their family.
