We put a great deal of trust in the care and nursing homes that look after us and our loved ones, but if standards slip, abuse can happen. If you've been abused while in care, or if a parent or relative has experienced abuse, our solicitors could help you claim compensation.
In these situations, it's important to know that there are people out there to help, and procedures you can follow to seek justice for those responsible.
Our care and nursing home abuse lawyers have significant experience of acting for vulnerable patients. We could help you to claim the compensation, and get the answers, you deserve. Contact our team to start your claim.
Who can make a claim for care or nursing home abuse?
If you or a loved one has experienced sexual, physical, or emotional abuse while in a care home or a nursing home, then you could claim compensation.
We’ve experience in helping people claim following care home abuse by:
- Nurses and nursing assistants
- Carers
- Cleaning staff
- Other residents.
If you’ve experienced abuse in a care home, then you can make a claim. You can also claim on behalf of a parent or relative who's unable to make their own legal decisions.
Tragically, abuse and neglect cases that involve vulnerable elderly patients can result in death. You can also claim on behalf of a loved one who’s died because of abuse in a nursing or care home.
