Our Clinton Nursing Homes Falls Attorney Will Find Out Why Your Loved One Fell
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics, falls can lead to serious, potentially fatal, injuries in older adults. If your loved one was injured in a fall in an elder care facility, you want to know why.
Some commonly reported causes of nursing home falls include:
- Slick or slippery floors
- Inadequate lighting
- Flawed or faulty wheelchairs
- Improper bed or chair height
- Incorrect medication or dosages
- Caregiver inattentiveness
Maryland nursing home residents have rights, including freedom from abuse and neglect. If your loved one’s fall was caused by negligence in any form, our investigation will prove it with a compelling collection of evidence.
Gathering Evidence to Support Your Claim for Compensation
The evidence we compile for you will tell the story of your loved one’s fall and its aftermath. To prove the elements of negligence—duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages—we collect the following:
- Emergency room records
- Ongoing medical records
- X-rays and other imaging results
- Physical and other therapy records
- Photos of your loved one’s injuries
- Photos of the resident’s room
- Statements from fellow residents
- Depositions from nursing home staff
Our Clinton nursing home fall attorney will handle all evidence collection, so you and your family do not have to. Find out how hard we work to build the strongest possible case file. Contact our consultation team at Jenner Law for your free claim review.
Types of Damages Injured Nursing Home Fall Victims Can Pursue
After discovering your loved one was not attended to appropriately in their nursing home, you may be reluctant to entrust their care to the same facility after they recover from their fall. Our law firm can request compensation for the costs of relocating them to a safer facility.
Additional damages we fight to recover on your behalf can include:
- Medical expenses: Medical treatment expenses include hospital bills, rehabilitation, therapy, assistive medical devices (wheelchairs, canes, etc.), medications, and treatment-related travel expenses.
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain and discomfort related to your loved one’s fall and compensation for the rigors of the recovery process.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Compensation for the physical toll of the fall, including ongoing fear and the inability to engage in previously enjoyed hobbies and activities.
- Wrongful death damages: If applicable, we help your family recover the costs of a loved one’s burial and funeral expenses and your loss of companionship and care.
The value of each nursing home fall claim varies based on specific circumstances. Factors that affect the value of your claim include the extent of the injuries and their impact on the resident and your family. Our Clinton nursing home falls attorneys will assess your claim and work to achieve maximum financial recovery.
Act Quickly to Meet Maryland’s Deadline to File a Nursing Home Lawsuit
In general, you have three years to file your nursing home abuse lawsuit, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101. Failing to file within the deadline could jeopardize your right to seek compensation.
While mandatory, the filing deadline can fluctuate, making compliance challenging on your own. Our legal team will handle this potentially complicated part of your claim for you, including filing your lawsuit on time.
