Taking Legal Action for Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect

Taking Legal Action for Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect If you suspect or know that a loved one is suffering from abuse or neglect in their Frederick nursing home, it may be in your best interest to discuss your situation with a reputable Frederick, MD nursing home lawyer.

When a resident of a nursing home is hurt due to negligence or abusive actions, it can be emotionally challenging for family members as they figure out what to do about the incident. Cases of nursing home abuse can be very complicated legal matters which often include thorough investigations once reports have been filed.

A Frederick, MD nursing home lawyer at Cohen & Cohen can empathize with how family members may be feeling after being told by their loved one that awful mistreatment happened to them. We understand that you may be filled with anger, frustration, heartbreak and devastation. Your vision of this nursing home being the safest and best place for them, may shatter at the realization of how the facility really treats their residents.

If you are in the distressful situation of thinking that someone you care about is suffering at the hands of their caregivers, you may find it helpful to discuss your situation with a compassionate Frederick, MD nursing home lawyer.

Seeking Compensation for Abuse

Senior residents and family members alike can seek compensation for injuries and punitive damages that are the result of abuse. We highly recommend that you consult with a lawyer at Cohen & Cohen before taking any action against the nursing home facility. We can help you be strategic and powerful in holding those accountable for their actions. When it comes to proving a claim, there are certain factors that your Frederick, MD nursing home lawyer needs to be able to prove:

That a contract existed between the resident and nursing home binding a standard duty of care
The nursing home failed to maintain their duty in caring for the resident, either due to intentional actions, omission, and/or negligence
That the harm the resident suffered was a direct or related result of the negligence or abusive actions.

Options in Addressing the Mistreatment

There are many ways that you can go about responding to the incident of neglect or abuse. Firstly, you can file a report directly with the facility and see what response you get from management. If the letter you receive back is satisfactory and corrective measures have been taken, then you may not want to take further action.

A nursing home lawyer who is familiar with Frederick, MD nursing homes and courts may be able to help you make more informed decisions about what your next steps should be.

However, do keep in mind that incidents of mistreatment may happen again, especially if the facility has a record for misconduct with residents. Perhaps a more thorough and preventative action to take is filing a lawsuit against the facility for compensation. A lawyer at Cohen & Cohen who is licensed to defend nursing home abuse victims in Frederick and throughout MD, can work alongside you as you prepare for legal action by:

Gathering proof, evidence, photographs of abuse, and other information
Filing a claim to the courts for that jurisdiction, in which the facility shall receive a notice of action
Getting a statement from your loved one about all the incidents of negligent or abuse he or she endured
Preparing for trial if a settlement cannot be reached

For more information about nursing home mistreatment and the process of filing a lawsuit, do not hesitate to contact us with questions. We also offer free initial consultations with a lawyer at Cohen & Cohen if you want to meet in person to discuss the situation in further depth. Do not let the abuse continue, please reach out to us today so we can start fighting for your loved one’s behalf.

  To say that I am happy with the outcome of my case is the understatement of the century! Jill Stanley is a BEAST at what she does.  That is the only way to explain it. She takes no prisoners. She and her team are very skilled and knowledgeable.  I am so happy I trusted them to do their job and rolled with Jill's suggestions. I would choose Jill again 100 times. She settled my case for more than I imagined I would receive. I was literally in tears. It is the best feeling to know my pain isn't for naught. Wayne Cohen and Kristopher Yorke were nothing short of amazing. They have the patience of saints. I'm 100% certain that I got on their last nerves with my frustration and tears at every other call I had with them. Being in pain and wanting to just be able to heal was all I could focus on, but they helped me realize that I also had to focus on the bigger picture (the case) so I could put this piece behind me. As a high-strung individual with anxiety, it was hard for me to not worry and let them do their jobs, but they reassured me all of the time that they had this. To be injured before the start of the pandemic and have to receive regular, weekly treatment while others are able to stay home is anxiety inducing. I was in pain, I was anxious, and I was just hoping it all worked out. It more than worked out.  I hope Jill, Siri, and Kris know how much their hard work and "hanging in there" meant to me. I am eternally grateful. I can't recommend you all enough. If you choose this law firm, you won't be sorry!

  I had a great experience with the team at Cohen & Cohen. From my intake attorney, Adam, to the paralegal, Bryan, who worked with me regularly for months to document and prepare my case, to Jill, the attorney who secured my settlement, I feel fortunate to have had their representation and expertise on my side.
