Call us today to schedule your free case consultation. Our Adelphi nursing home abuse lawyers have secured several settlements for our Maryland clients because we dig deep and fight hard to get them fairly compensated.
Compensation Settlements for Nursing Home Abuse Vary
No level of abuse or negligence of nursing home residents is acceptable. This vulnerable population should receive nothing but kindness and professional care, but we know that this doesn’t always happen.
If our personal injury attorneys can prove someone abused your loved one, we can seek a compensation settlement from the liable party’s insurance company or a compensation judgment from the courts. How much compensation you and your family may receive depends on several factors, including but not limited to:
- The severity of the victim’s injuries
- The type and extent of abuse suffered, such as physical, sexual, mental, or financial
- The cap on non-economic damages in Maryland at the time of the abuse
Compensation settlements typically cover the following economic and non-economic damages, but circumstances specific to your loved one’s case will determine what may be compensable:
- Relocation costs if a change of living facilities is necessary
- Medical care for immediate and long-term needs related to injuries
- Pain and suffering experienced from the abuse and its lingering effects
- Mental anguish, trauma, depression, and anxiety
- Disability due to the abuse
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Our Adelphi nursing home abuse lawyers can explain what your family may expect in a compensation settlement or judgment. Contact Jenner Law today to learn more.

How an Adelphi Elder Abuse Attorney Can Help Shape Your Case
Nursing home abuse cases are devastating for the victim and family and full of complex legal questions. Our personal injury law firm will work with you throughout the case, ensuring you understand every step and can make informed decisions along the way.
Safety
The first thing we will do is help you ensure your loved one is safe and receiving appropriate care. We also help you file a report with Maryland authorities to protect your loved one and other residents from further harm.
Investigation
After listening to your story, our legal service team will investigate the nursing facility, staff, vendors, and others for any history of abuse or neglect. We will review hiring and training practices, gather eyewitness statements and available video or images of the abuse or the effects of the abuse, look for physical evidence supporting the claim of abuse, and obtain copies of medical records and police reports.
Compensation Claim
Once we understand how the abuse happened and who the abuser or abusers are, we will identify who may be liable for the harm done, such as:
- Nursing home owners/managers
- Third-party contractors, such as a janitorial service, pharmacy, or manufacturer of a medical device or piece of equipment
- Another nursing facility resident or visitor
Our Adelphi nursing home abuse attorney works with you and your loved one to account for all of the losses related to the abuse. We then help you complete and file a compensation claim with the liable party’s insurance company and negotiate with them for a full and fair compensation settlement.
Lawsuit
If the liable party’s insurance company denies your claim or does not negotiate in good faith, we will prepare for trial and represent you and your loved one in court as we seek a fair compensation verdict.

Maryland’s Statute of Limitations for Filing a Nursing Home Abuse Lawsuit
Maryland puts a three-year limit on how long you have to file a lawsuit after discovering the abuse, per Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101. If you try to bring a lawsuit after that time, the court will likely bar you from doing so.
