Care Home Claims
Call our first response team today if you wish to ask any questions regarding care home claims for compensation
Duncan Gibbins Solicitors always take action when it comes to assisting those people who are vulnerable and have been the victims of negligence.
We offer a comprehensive service for those individuals who wish to pursue care home claims for compensation where either themselves or a close, loved one, has been the victim of negligence in a care home setting.
Case studies for care home claims over the last few years have included:
- Failures in providing enough food and drink causing malnutrition and severe dehydration.
- Delays in attending to patients.
- Failures and delays leading to patient deaths.
- Incorrect administration of medication and medical treatment.
- Hygiene issues leading to illness or serious injury.
- Negligent patient handling leading to falls.
Negligence can come in the form of mistreatment that was intended upon the victims or through an overall arc from the care home itself and its negligence in management of staff and procedures.
Abuse within care homes can take many forms, whether emotional or physical, and it is wholly unacceptable for a member of staff within a care home to treat a resident in such a way.
Negligence in the form of bad management can take place through a number of mediums. Often, residents of a care home will have suffered as a result of health and safety regulations not being met or regularly checked, leaving them in danger going about their everyday lives. In a similar respect the lack of staff training or bad management skills leading to a lack of relevant numbers at any one time or within certain specialities could lead to greater negligence.
At Duncan Gibbins we recognise that this sort of treatment is completely unacceptable and believe that vulnerable people should be given a voice and in appropriate cases compensation.
Our team of dedicated professionals have many years of experience dealing with claims for compensation in a wide variety of negligence actions and will strive to achieve the best results for all of our clients.
