Baltimore Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse Lawyers in Baltimore
Advocates protecting the well-being of elderly individuals
We trust nursing homes to provide care for our elderly or infirm relatives when they are no longer able to live on their own. While the majority of nursing homes and their employees act in accordance with the law, some abuse their positions of power or simply fail to perform their duties to the detriment of residents. You have the right to file a lawsuit against a nursing home or its staff if you believe your loved one has been harmed in a nursing home.

We speak to facility owners and managers to try to stop abuse, work with you to find a safe place for your loved one to live if their facility is unsafe, help submit reports of abuse with Maryland’s Office of Health Care Quality, and hold responsible parties accountable for their abusive or negligent actions. Our team does everything possible to ensure your loved one is appropriately compensated for his or her physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Unfortunately, many elderly individuals do not speak out when they have been abused for fear of retribution. This means that if you have a loved one in a nursing home, you need to keep a careful watch for signs of abuse or neglect.
