Some common causes of negligence that might lead to a dangerous fall include:

- Evidence of malnutrition or dehydration
- Medical and geriatric expert testimony
- Statements from staff and fellow residents
- Photos of your loved one’s injuries
- Pictures of your loved one’s room and the facility
Leave evidence collection to us. We will compile, sort, and organize your evidence into a cohesive case file and present it to the insurance company on your behalf.
Types of Compensation Our Nursing Home Falls Attorneys Will Pursue
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics put the annual medical costs of fall-related injuries at $50 billion. To recover the medical expenses your loved one incurs due to a fall, we request compensation for:
- Tests, exams, and X-rays
- Hospital stays
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Medications and medical devices
Your financial recovery does not stop with your family member’s medical bills. We also request the following damages:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Disability and disfigurement

Did an accidental fall lead to your loved one’s death? If so, you have our sincerest condolences. When you’re ready, our Rockville wrongful death lawyers also pursue damages for your family, including funeral and burial costs, loss of companionship, and loss of guidance and support.
Act Quickly to Protect Your Right to File Your Maryland Lawsuit
Your nursing home fall claim is a time-sensitive legal matter. According to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101, you generally have three years to file your lawsuit. Meeting the filing deadline is mandatory but can also be challenging since it could fluctuate. If you don’t file your lawsuit before the deadline, the court could toss your claim.
Our legal team can help you avoid the costly consequences of filing your lawsuit too late. We will file for you—on time and in the appropriate Rockville court.
