Care homes are a place where we entrust professionals with the care either of ourselves or of a loved one. A care home is not a cheap alternative to providing the care ourselves and therefore with the fees comes a certain expectation of high levels of care by professionals. We expect the person in the care home to be safe, well looked after and that the property will be well maintained and fit for purpose.
Unfortunately this is not always the case and sometimes residents of the care home can sustain injuries that could have been prevented by better care or by the actions of a health care professional.
You may be able to claim for:
- Injuries caused by poor maintenance – unsafe surfaces, unnecessary obstacles
- Illness caused by poor preparation of food
- Injuries sustained due to improper or incorrect assistance when moving or lifting residents
- Emotional and mental injuries caused by neglect or abuse
- Physical injuries caused by abuse or physical impact

Frequently asked questions about Care Home Injury Claims
Our expert legal team answer your questions about making a Care Home Injury Claim
It may be possible for you make a claim on behalf of a loved one who has suffered a care home injury. We explain everything you need to know in our guide to making a claim for someone else.
As all negligence claims come with different circumstances, it can’t be said with certainty exactly how long your care home negligence case would take; however, an estimate would be that it would take between 2-3 years for a claim to be completed. This is because all claims are different meaning that some claims may take a shorter or longer amount of time to the estimation.
The amount of compensation you may be entitled to for a care home injury claim will depend on the circumstances involved in your claim. As every claim is different, the final compensation pay-out is based on the severity of your suffering because of the negligence. Many factors are considered, including the impact on your health, medical expenses, and any loss of earnings.

Case Study
Sarah's Story
"Now we have peace of mind"
My husband, Nick, went back and forth to the doctors for a long time and tried everything the doctor recommended. But his illness got worse, to the point that he was in agony.
In the end we got so desperate that we asked for a referral. The doctor was reluctant, so we had to consult a private hospital. That’s when we found out there was a tumour. It took years from the onset of his illness to finally start cancer treatment.
He used to be a man with a lot to live for, but in the end he was in so much pain that he withdrew from the family. He became angry that nobody had helped him sooner, and the legal team were able to give him the validation that he was desperately seeking. The NHS confirmed if they had done more, Nick would still be alive today.
