- Speak on your behalf: Handle verbal, written, and electronic communication.
- Identify beneficial experts: Consult with medical and geriatric specialists.
- Canvass the fall scene: Obtain footage from nursing home security cameras.

Our law firm also ensures you can reach an attorney or team member at your convenience. Plus, we bring over 70 years of collective experience and a history of million-dollar financial awards to your case.

Our La Plata Nursing Home Falls Attorneys Will Prove the Cause of Your Loved One’s Fall
To prove your loved one is entitled to compensation, we collect evidence that establishes the nursing home’s negligence. We will prove they owed your loved one a duty of care and failed to provide it. We also establish a link between their action and your loved one’s fall and financial costs.
Your loved one’s fall could qualify for compensation for any of the following negligence-based reasons:
- Caregiver negligence: Failure to supervise, carelessness when moving a resident, and physical assault.
- Medication errors: Giving a resident too much, too little, or the wrong medication
- Uncorrected fall hazards: Failing to clean up a spill or remove a fall hazard (e.g., torn carpet, missing tiles, or snaking cords and cables)
Sadly, abuse could have caused your beloved family member’s fall. Our investigation will prove if they were involved in a physical altercation with staff or another resident. When appropriate, we could pursue punitive damages in addition to other forms of compensation.
We Collect Evidence That Tells the Story of Your Loved One’s Nursing Home Fall
The nursing home is financially liable for your loved one’s fall if it was the result of negligence. To prove it was, we collect evidence like:
- Employee timecards, job descriptions, and task assignments to prove who was (or should have been) with your family member when they fell
- Witness statements from fellow residents, visitors, and nursing home staff
- Medical records and bills that prove the cause and costs of your loved one’s injuries
- Security and smartphone video footage that captured the accident
- Nursing home licensing, hiring, and training records that prove any violations of legal requirements

- Current and future medical care
- Required surgery and rehabilitation

Jenner Law also pursues wrongful death damages for surviving La Plata families. Our team takes time to account for all your claim-related damages before making a compensation request. That means we avoid a speedy but insufficient settlement and having your claim undervalued or underpaid.
You Have a Limited Time to File Your Maryland Nursing Home Fall Lawsuit
According to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101, you could have as little as three years to file your nursing home lawsuit. Not filing your lawsuit on time could mean the court will not allow you to file it, leaving you with no legal ability to compel compensation from the at-fault party.
When you trust Jenner Law to handle your claim, we interpret the filing deadline based on the circumstances of your case. Our results-driven legal team will file your lawsuit on time and avoid the costly outcome of non-compliance.
