Our Silver Spring Nursing Home Falls Attorneys Document the Resident’s Injuries
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) research cites accidental falls as a leading cause of broken hips and traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases. In older adults, these injuries can be debilitating, requiring long-term medical care.
Fall-related injuries can also include:
- Head and neck injuries
- Facial and dental injuries
- Cuts, scrapes, and bruises
- Broken bones
- Scarring and disfigurement
Your Maryland nursing home resident has rights that the facility must respect. If the home violates their rights in any way, our investigation will get to the bottom of it, and we will not stop fighting for your financial recovery.
The Role of Negligence in Proving Your Loved One’s Right to Compensation
We can only hold the nursing home where your loved one fell financially liable by proving their negligence led to their injuries. Our lawyers will prove the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of care: The nursing home’s staff and administrators owed your loved one a reasonable duty of care.
- Breach of duty: The nursing home failed to provide appropriate and acceptable care to your loved one.
- Causation: The demonstrable connection between the nursing home’s breach and your loved one’s fall.
- Damages: The economic and noneconomic damages related to your family member’s fall.

Our Silver Spring Nursing Home Attorneys Can Obtain Favorable Compensation
The costs of your loved one’s negligence-based fall can add up quickly—from medical care to mental health care support to deal with a new and lingering fear of falling. When we pursue compensation on your behalf, we include the following tangible damages:
- Medical bills: Emergency, ongoing, and follow-up, including rehab and therapy. We also pursue prescribed medications and assistive medical devices (e.g., canes or wheelchairs).
- Moving costs: Did you have to relocate your family member to another facility? We can seek compensation for moving expenses.
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for the discomfort of an injury and the potentially grueling recovery process.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Compensation for the mental and emotional anxiety a fall victim experiences and the costs of psychological healthcare.
- Punitive damages: While rarely awarded, we could pursue them if your loved one’s fall resulted from intentional wrongdoing (e.g., being maliciously pushed, pulled, or tripped).
We collect all the evidence related to your damages and include it in your case file. It will consist of receipts for all fall-related medical expenses, moving truck and deposits related to relocation, medical records, and a written statement describing the fall’s toll on your loved one’s life.
The Statute of Limitations Is a Mandatory Aspect of Your Nursing Home Fall Lawsuit
In general, you have three years to file your lawsuit, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101. Failing to file your lawsuit within the allotted time could mean the court will not permit you to file it, leaving you with no further legal recourse.
Let us handle this aspect of your case. Our nursing home falls attorney will file your lawsuit on time and in the appropriate Silver Spring, MD court. We also handle all documentation related to the court filing.
