We Will Identify the Cause of Your Loved One’s Fall in a Waldorf Nursing Home
A nursing home fall could result from a push, shove, or slipping on a wet floor. Unfortunately, an inattentive caregiver could also cause a fall because they didn’t help while your loved one showered or walked without a cane or walker.
Getting compensation for your loved one’s fall means establishing the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of care: The nursing home’s responsibility to provide appropriate care for your elderly family member
- Breach of duty: The nursing home’s failure to meet its legal obligation and respect your loved one’s rights
- Causation: The correlation between the nursing home’s action (or failure to take appropriate action) and your loved one’s fall
- Damages: The financial consequences your loved one experiences due to their injury and related costs

Financial Recovery for Nursing Home Falls Claims in Waldorf, MD
Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 11-109 describes the types of economic and noneconomic damages you can recover for nursing home abuse or neglect. The compensation we fight hard to maximize for you will include:
- Emergency room fees
- Ambulance fees
- Hospital admissions
- Surgical procedures
- Relocation expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anxiety
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
In addition to documenting your damages, we will also negotiate on your behalf. We will make your settlement demand, measure the feasibility of any offers you receive, and make appropriate counteroffers. If we cannot resolve your claim with a settlement—which rarely happens—we will not hesitate to take your case to trial.
The Importance of Complying With Maryland’s Statute of Limitations
Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101 generally gives you three years from the accident date to file your lawsuit. Failing to meet the filing deadline could jeopardize your right to file your lawsuit. However, accurately interpreting the filing deadline can be complicated.
You do not have to handle the financial recovery, settlement negotiation, or legal processes alone. Our Waldorf nursing home falls attorney will be by your side from the start, including filing your lawsuit on time.
