Maryland Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer

Maryland Nursing Home Neglect Attorney

Nursing home personnel have a duty of care that many people might call a sacred duty. They are charged with protecting the welfare of vulnerable people who are in long-term care facilities because they are unable to care for themselves. Whether nursing home residents are there primarily because they are elderly or because they are disabled, family members rightfully expect nurses and attendants to follow accepted standards of care. Our nursing home neglect lawyers at McGowan & Cecil, LLC are prepared to evaluate your case by reviewing evidence and applying provisions of the law.

Signs of Nursing Home Neglect

We can help your family member receive compensation for injuries or harm such as:

Dehydration
Malnutrition
Bedsores
Bruising
Signs of sexual abuse
Broken bones resulting from a fall or falls from bed or from a chair

Sometimes family members say they are “not after money” when they encounter signs of nursing home neglect, but rather, they want to see future similar problems prevented. A provision of a settlement in a nursing home neglect case may include a requirement that the nursing home correct underlying causes of an incident, such as understaffing or a lack of proper training of caregivers.
