Care Home Negligence Claim Specialists
Do you require a solicitor to help you claim for negligence, abuse, an accident or malicious injury in a care home? Or have you been injured by a carer in your own home? If so, then contact PSR Solicitors for expert legal advice.
Sadly, the most vulnerable members of society do not always receive the care and respect they need and deserve.
Often, care home staff are simply trying to cater to the considerable needs of too many patients or residents at the same time, but it is the most vulnerable who can pay the price for this.
If you are not satisfied with the care you or an elderly relative is receiving - or a younger vulnerable individual at a nursing home - don't be afraid to take action. The first step is to get advice from an experienced Care Home Negligence Solicitor.
PSR Solicitors is committed to ensuring that standards of care for residents in nursing and care homes across Britain continually improves and that compensation is paid whenever there are failings.
Our dedicated team specialises in helping people who have suffered in care homes and can advise you on exactly how to go about rectifying the problems and claiming compensation for what has happened.
For individuals and families who have experienced negligent care in nursing homes or care homes, PSR Solicitors offers expert legal services to help you navigate the challenging process of claiming compensation. Our dedicated team of care home negligence solicitors is committed to ensuring that you and your loved ones receive the justice and support you deserve.

The prevalence of care home abuse in the UK has come to light over several years through investigations, media reports, and high-profile cases.
The government and regulatory bodies, such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC), have taken steps to tighten regulations, increase inspections, and implement stronger measures to ensure the safety and well-being of residents in care homes.
However, the number of concerns raised continues to rise, increasing 14.6% to 475,569 during 2019-20 according to a Safeguarding Adults report published by the NHS.
This means potentially tens of thousands of our elderly loved ones are left abused, neglected, or injured by those given the duty of care to look after them. They deserve better.
At PSR Solicitors, we recognize that the most vulnerable members of society often do not receive the care and respect they need and deserve. As a result, they may suffer from abuse, neglect, or injury at the hands of those who have been entrusted with their care. This can happen in various settings, including care homes, nursing homes, or even in their own homes with the assistance of professional carers.
Our experienced care home negligence solicitors understand that many care home staff may be overwhelmed by the demands of caring for multiple patients or residents simultaneously, leading to a compromise in the quality of care provided. However, it is the most vulnerable who suffer the consequences of this inadequate care.
As a leading law firm specialising in care home claims, our priority is to help those who have experienced substandard care or abuse in a nursing home or care home setting. We are committed to ensuring ever-improving standards of care for residents in nursing and care homes across Britain.
Our dedicated team of care home negligence solicitors has expertise in handling a wide variety of care home negligence cases, including:
We understand that injuries sustained due to insufficient care or abuse by a professional can be traumatic for both the victim and their loved ones. Our compassionate and knowledgeable team will work tirelessly to hold the responsible parties accountable and secure the compensation you or your loved one is entitled to.
If you or a loved one has experienced abuse or neglect by a carer or health professional, or if you have been injured in an incident while residing in a care home or nursing home, you are eligible to make a compensation claim. Often, the compensation recovered is used to fund a safer and more caring living environment for those who have suffered injury, abuse, or neglect. In cases where the injured or abused individual is unable to pursue compensation due to the injuries sustained or any other reason, immediate family members are allowed to make a claim on their behalf.
At PSR Solicitors, we offer a No Win No Fee guarantee for all the care home injury claims we take on, meaning that if your claim is unsuccessful, there will be no legal fees to concern yourself with. Additionally, we provide:
In general, personal injury claims in England, Wales, and Scotland must be brought within three years of the incident occurring or within three years from the date of diagnosis of an illness or injury if progressive in nature. However, there are several exceptions to this rule in Care Home Negligence Claims, such as:
Although these general time limits apply to the vast majority of personal injury claims, there may be particular circumstances when the court would make a discretionary decision in order to pursue a claim outside these time limits. We strongly recommend that you speak to one of our specialist care home negligence lawyers who can advise you on whether or not you can pursue a claim.
The care agency or care home charged with looking after you has a duty to ensure your safety. If they fail in their responsibilities to you and you suffer an accident or injury, then they are likely to be held at fault. You will be entitled to make a compensation claim against them to recognise the harm and suffering caused as well as to cover the cost of any care, medical treatment, and equipment that you may require as a result of what has happened.
Injuries sustained because of insufficient care or abuse by a professional are particularly traumatic and we frequently work to support and help clients who have experienced neglect and ill-treatment by care-workers, or who have suffered accidents as a result of missed visits and inadequate provision.
Our experienced solicitors can help you with a wide range of care claims such as:
Injury and suffering caused intentionally by a carer is particularly distressing and harrowing for both the victim and their loved ones. Abuse can manifest itself in many ways including physical abuse, such as inappropriate restraint and assault; psychological abuse, including threatening and humiliating behaviour and even sexual abuse of vulnerable people.
Substandard levels of care can lead to neglect, which may include failure to provide adequate food or drink, assistance with personal hygiene, proper medical attention, or addressing social and emotional needs. This often results in debilitating pain and distress, or ignores the social and emotional needs of a patient in their care.
Falls are the most common accidents suffered by those in residential care, often due to slippery floors, obstacles, and insufficient assistance for those that are less mobile. Missed carer visits can also result in patients falling in their own homes after attempting to get themselves out of bed, up from a chair, navigating stairs or trying to reach mobility aids alone and without the assistance they need.
Burns and scolds are among the most common injuries sustained by those in residential care or being looked after at home, due to neglect or insufficient care provided by staff. Burns are often sustained through overheated food or drink, bath or shower water that is too hot, patients attempting to cook for themselves when a carer has failed to provide enough food or not being properly supervised when smoking a cigarette.
Staff shortages can result in inexperienced carers being asked to lift patients. Carers are often insufficiently trained in safely lifting another person and frequently sustain injuries themselves. Other, similar injuries occur due to staff negligence and unsafe lifting equipment.
Mistakes in the prescription and administration of medication in care homes can have serious consequences, sometimes resulting in long-term harm or even death. Care homes must have proper procedures and safety checks in place to ensure the accurate administration of medication. When these procedures are not followed and mistakes occur, causing harm or illness, a case for compensation can be brought against the care home.

As with any personal injury claim, your Nursing Home Abuse & Injury Compensation is split into two parts:
The General Damage element of your compensation considers the pain and suffering you’ve endured, as well as factoring in the impact it has had it’s on your day to day life. The value of your general damages is based on the severity of your injuries or the levels of abuse you suffered, as well as the length of time it has taken you to recover and the degree to which you have recovered. Due to its nature, every claim results in a unique general damages value. However, our qualified solicitors who specialise in care home abuse & injury claims have years of experience in this area and will be able to provide an approximation of the level of general damages you're likely to recover.
Special damages directly reflect the financial losses you’ve suffered and the financial expenses you’ve incurred as a result of the injury or abuse, including:
It also considers ongoing costs and losses associated with the injury, including:
The key aim of special damages is to ensure that the victim is returned to the financial position they were in prior to the injury or abuse and to make sure that they are in no way financially disadvantaged by their injury.
