Nursing Care and Care Home Claims
Temple’s ATE insurance scheme gives full delegated authority for a wide variety of case types
After-The-Event insurance for Nursing Care and Care Home Claims
Nursing care failure forms a clinical negligence action and can also complicate other clinical negligence matters. Aside from hospitals, care homes and district nurses often have continuous, sustained contact with a patient. This means that errors in care may not be noticed for some time and can lead to more extensive treatment being required.
We offer cover for a wide variety of nursing care and care home cases including:
- Failure to carry out adequate falls risk assessments – potentially allowing unsteady patients to mobilise inappropriately
- Failure to prevent and treat pressure ulcers
- Failing to provide adequate personal care
- Injuries causing by using inappropriate equipment for transfers
- Errors in administering medication
- Failure to monitor or accurately record vital signs
- Failure to keep accurate records
Delegated Authority
Temple’s ATE insurance scheme provides full delegated authority, allowing you to concentrate on handling the case and obtaining the best possible result for your client. Our underwriters have proven expertise and experience and the scheme is backed by an A rated capacity provider.
