What Damages Will a Baltimore Nursing Home Sepsis Attorney Pursue?
Sepsis and other health complications caused by nursing home abuse can lead to extensive monetary losses, not to mention physical pain and emotional suffering.
For many seniors, sepsis significantly affects their overall health and quality of life. Unfortunately, some of the most vulnerable residents will not survive this type of systemic infection.
When we represent a nursing home abuse victim, we seek fair compensation based on their economic and non-economic damages, such as:
- Medical treatment and related expenses
- Future medical care and support costs
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages, including funeral and burial costs
- Additional out-of-pocket expenses related to the abuse or illness
Our Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Understand How Neglect Can Lead to Sepsis
Sepsis can have severe and even life-threatening effects on anyone, but nursing home residents are at a particularly elevated risk because of their age and underlying health issues. Some possible sepsis-related concerns include:
- Organ failure, such as the kidneys or heart
- Cognitive decline or delirium
- Amputations
- Extended hospitalization and rehabilitation
- Weakened immune system leading to future infections
- Permanent disability, loss of mobility, or loss of independence
Nursing home negligence is one reason residents develop sepsis, such as when a staff member fails to prevent or promptly treat infections. Other potential causes include the following:
- Ignoring pressure sores or other wounds
- Allowing poor hygiene and unsanitary conditions
- Failing to monitor high-risk residents
All these situations could occur because of understaffing or lack of training. These preventable situations cause harm to residents. These are examples of nursing home negligence, and our team can build a case to hold the facility accountable for the injuries, expenses, and losses that occur.

Steps Our Baltimore Nursing Home Sepsis Lawyers Will Take to Build a Case
To hold the nursing home leadership or corporate owners legally liable for Baltimore nursing home mistreatment, we must have compelling evidence to support our allegations against the staff and management. We must investigate what happened and gather evidence. You can count on lawyers from our team to:
- Review medical records to show when and how the infection developed.
- Investigate facility practices for signs of neglect, understaffing, or poor hygiene.
- Interview witnesses, including staff, residents, and family members.
- Consult medical experts to understand the sepsis diagnosis and how it developed.
- Document violations of state or federal nursing home regulations.
- Prove damages such as medical costs, pain and suffering, and other long-term effects.
Our nursing home sepsis lawyers will demand fair compensation from the liable party or parties and work to reach a settlement that fairly accommodates your loved one and your family. We will also sue the nursing home owner and litigate the case, taking it to trial if necessary to recover fair compensation.
Is There a Deadline for Suing a Baltimore Nursing Home for Sepsis?
You should report any suspicions you have of abuse or neglect to the Maryland Department of Health’s Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ) as soon as possible. It will ensure the safety of your loved one and begin an investigation. Your next call should be to our team. You only have limited time to act.
Generally, Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101 gives us three years from the date doctors discovered your loved one’s injury to file a personal injury lawsuit and three years after your family member died in a wrongful death case.
However, there are exceptions for certain circumstances. Your timeline could be different if there was fraud or your loved one has cognitive concerns that made it difficult to know what was happening before they became sick. Contact us as soon as possible so we can protect your rights.
