What is a Care Home Negligence Claim?
A care home negligence claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you or a loved one has suffered harm due to substandard care in a residential or nursing home. Negligence can include poor medical treatment, medication errors, lack of supervision, physical or emotional abuse, or unsafe living conditions that result in avoidable injury, illness, or even death.
If you or your family member have been affected by care home negligence in the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and secure the support you need.
Who Can Make a Care Home Negligence Claim?
You may be entitled to claim if:
• You or a relative experienced poor care, neglect, or abuse in a residential or nursing home
• You are a parent or guardian claiming on behalf of a vulnerable adult who cannot bring a claim themselves
• You are a family member making a claim after the death of a loved one caused by negligent care in a care home

Types of Care Home Negligence Claims We Handle
Medication Errors
Incorrect dosages, failure to administer prescriptions, or mixing up medications can cause serious harm to vulnerable residents.
Falls and Injuries
Lack of supervision, unsafe environments, or inadequate mobility support can result in falls, fractures, and long-term disability.
Pressure Sores (Bedsores)
Failure to move or monitor immobile patients can cause severe pressure ulcers, infections, and unnecessary suffering.
Neglect and Malnutrition
Residents may be left without adequate food, hydration, or hygiene, leading to rapid deterioration in health.
Physical or Emotional Abuse
Abuse by staff or other residents can cause significant trauma, loss of dignity, and long-term psychological harm.
Inadequate Medical Care
Delays in calling a doctor, failure to spot signs of infection, or poor monitoring of chronic conditions can result in serious complications or fatalities.
What You Can Claim Compensation For
• Physical pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life
• Psychological harm and emotional distress
• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Loss of income and reduced earning capacity (where relevant)
• Funeral expenses and dependency claims in fatal cases
• Travel costs and other out-of-pocket expenses
How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
Every care home negligence claim is unique. The value depends on:
• The severity and long-term effects of the injury
• Medical evidence and recovery outlook
• Financial losses, including lost earnings (if applicable)
• The impact on independence and daily life
• The cost of future treatment and care
Our solicitors use medical reports, financial documents, and Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate fair compensation that reflects the true impact of negligence.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
