Clinton Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Q: Who is responsible for abuse in nursing homes?

Potentially liable parties include but aren't limited to: owners, managers, or nursing home administrators and support staff; nursing home staff, such as nurses, therapists, nursing assistants, dietitians, doctors, cleaners, maintenance crew members, or cooks; anyone who comes onto the premises to provide a service, such as plumbers, electricians, or medical equipment technicians; other nursing home patients; nursing facility guests; and medical equipment manufacturers or medication suppliers, if faulty products are to blame. If your loved one is abused through a negligent, reckless, or intentional act, we must determine how the abuse happened, who was involved, and who is financially responsible.

Difficult as it can be, placing your loved one in a nursing home is sometimes the best option for their care and well-being.

However, through employee negligence or carelessness, or because of a poorly thought-out company policy, abuse may occur. If it does, our Clinton nursing home abuse lawyers will apply our more than 70 years of combined experience in Maryland personal injury law to the pursuit of justice for you and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nursing Home Abuse

Our nursing home abuse attorneys in Clinton can answer questions like:

When Do I Have to Pay My Attorney?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we will not collect any fees until we successfully recover compensation for your loved one. If we don‘t recover money for you, you don‘t pay. Once we resolve your claim, we’ll receive a percentage of your financial award as payment for our legal fees.

How Long Does My Family Have to File a Nursing Home Abuse Lawsuit?

Per Md. Code, Courts and Judicial Proceedings § 5-101, you generally have three years from the date of your loved one’s injury (or the date you discovered the injury) to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Because the date you discovered the injury may be unclear and other exceptions may apply, it’s wise to speak to your attorney about the statute of limitations for your family to ensure you file your lawsuit on time.

Who Is Responsible for Abuse in Nursing Homes?

Potentially liable parties include but aren’t limited to:

Owners, managers, or nursing home administrators and support staff
Nursing home staff, such as nurses, therapists, nursing assistants, dietitians, doctors, cleaners, maintenance crew members, or cooks
Anyone who comes onto the premises to provide a service, such as plumbers, electricians, or medical equipment technicians
Other nursing home patients
Nursing facility guests
Medical equipment manufacturers or medication suppliers, if faulty products are to blame

If your loved one is abused through a negligent, reckless, or intentional act, we must determine how the abuse happened, who was involved, and who is financially responsible.

Two years ago, I went through a difficult situation for which Jenner Law served as my legal representative. They were very caring and compassionate as I went through the process of explaining the details of the incident, which was pretty difficult for me. Throughout that process, and at every step along the way, the attorneys at Jenner Law kept me updated and guided me through my options when decisions needed to be made. And they always made me feel like they had time for me, which was very comforting. Hopefully you’ll never have to experience anything like what I went through, but if you do, I would give Jenner Law my absolutely highest recommendation to help get justice for you, and to make you whole again.

Two years ago a situation in my life found me in despair. I felt alone. I thought I was to blame. At the advice of a friend I sought help. A miracle led me to Jenner Law. Rob listened to my story. Asked meaningful questions, and agreed to support me. From that moment forward, Rob and his team took the reigns of a horrible situation, and with care, honesty, and thoroughness, guided me to a resolution that has brought me closure and is allowing me to heal. Rob and his team will always hold a sacred space of gratitude and admiration in my life. Thank you Jenner Law for all you do.

There are truly no words that can fully express the gratitude my family and I have for Elisha and Terry. Losing my father was one of the most painful experiences we have ever faced, and navigating a wrongful death lawsuit while grieving felt overwhelming. From the very beginning, Elisha and Terry treated us with compassion, respect, and genuine care. They took the time to listen to our concerns, answer every question, and guide us through each step of the process with patience and professionalism. Throughout the case, they fought tirelessly on behalf of our family and made us feel like more than just clients. We always felt supported, informed, and confident that they had our best interests at heart. What stood out most was their dedication not only to achieving justice for my father but also to helping our family find some measure of peace during an incredibly difficult time. Their kindness, expertise, and unwavering commitment made a world of difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Elisha and Terry to anyone seeking attorneys who are not only exceptional at what they do but who also truly care about the people they represent. Thank you both for standing by our family and helping us honor my father’s memory.

I wanted to take a moment to thank the Law Offices of Robert Jenner, and especially MaryBeth. I truly cannot thank her enough for the care, dedication, and support she provided me during one of the hardest times of my life. She was patient, compassionate, and consistently went above and beyond. I leaned on her throughout the entire case, and even during moments when I struggled emotionally given the nature of the situation, she remained both my advocate and my confidant. She made me feel heard, cared for, protected, and most importantly, seen. Thank you to Robert, Elisha, and MaryBeth for everything. Because of you, I can finally close this chapter of my life, and I am deeply grateful.

Jennifer Law, Elisha, and their team provided the best legal support we could have hoped for during a very difficult time. They represented my mother during a major transition after experiencing negligence at a sub-acute rehab center. Elisha, in particular, was incredibly empathetic throughout the entire process, explaining every step, educating us on options, and sharing invaluable resources for my mother’s care. This one of the hardest periods in our lives. Their professionalism was consistent, and they handled everything with expertise and care. This team made a huge difference for my family, not just legally but personally, and we are deeply grateful for their support.

Katie and team were amazing. I did not know what to expect in pursuing a malpractice lawsuit. I'm not a lawyer and have never sued anyone. Katie was honest with me, she never sugarcoated anything, she treated me with enormous respect and empathy. Her and her team were meticulous, zealous in their advocacy for me, and strategic in their filing. The resolution of the whole matter was very satisfactory to me. Most surprisingly, I found the process to be healing. It meant a lot to me to have such smart and experienced professionals advocating for me, fighting for me. Katie and her firm are superb; I cannot recommend them more highly.
