What Damages Can a Maryland Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Recover?
When our nursing home abuse lawyers pursue a Maryland case, we demand the facility compensate you or your loved one for any injuries, pain and suffering the victim endured. How much you can recover depends on your situation. Whether through a settlement or court award, we can seek damages that account for:
- Any medical bills necessary because of the abuse or neglect
- Future and ongoing care stemming from your loved one’s injuries
- Pain and suffering
- Other non-economic damages, such as loss of enjoyment of life and mental anguish
Under some circumstances, a nursing home resident in Maryland could pass away from abuse or neglect. If you lost a loved one to wrongful death, you have more than our condolences; you have our commitment to your personal injury case’s outcome. While you grieve and spend time with your family, our wrongful death attorneys can seek reimbursement for funeral, burial, and memorial costs.
What’s the Average Settlement for Nursing Home Abuse Cases?
There isn’t an average settlement value for nursing home abuse cases. The outcomes of many claims are confidential, and even our lawyers aren’t privy to that information. Yet, you have our promise that we’ll fight for everything you need to help your loved one move forward from this traumatic event.
Our Maryland Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Know the Signs of Abuse
Nursing home abuse and neglect are more common than we like to think. For the past decades, we’ve secured millions for people who have suffered injuries resulting from:
- Neglect: Neglect is the only type of nursing home abuse that can occur unintentionally. Neglect could include failure to provide necessary medical care or support, failure to meet residents’ basic needs, and allowing them to live in dirty conditions.
- Physical abuse: Physical abuse could include using unnecessary restraints, hitting, shoving, pinching, or employing force.
- Sexual abuse: Sexual abuse could vary from provocative comments to assault. Sometimes, sexual abuse involves caretakers and nursing home staff. Other times, it can result from interactions between residents.
- Emotional abuse: Emotional abuse could include threats, intentional embarrassment, and other actions that make the resident scared of the perpetrator.
Nursing home administrators have a duty to provide a reasonable standard of care for residents. When they fail to do so, injuries are likely. Because of their age and medical conditions, residents generally require a high level of attention, support, and care. Even when negligence occurs unintentionally – often because of understaffing, poor training, or overcrowding—it is preventable, and the facility administration is legally liable.
