Nursing Homes in Gaithersburg Have a Clear Responsibility to Protect Residents

When a nursing home accepts a resident into its facility, it accepts a responsibility. Whether or not it is explicit in a contract, the nursing home has a duty to protect the resident from harm.

If your loved one suffered abuse by nursing home staff, then the nursing home itself is potentially negligent.

Several failures by the nursing home can lead to abuse, including:

• Failure to properly vet staff to ensure they are qualified and safe before hiring them
• Failure to respond immediately and thoroughly to reports of abuse
• Failure to monitor staff members
• Enacting weak disciplinary measures against staffers who engage in abuse
• Failure to maintain adequate staffing levels to meet the needs of residents, which Health Services Insights notes is a problem at more than half of U.S. nursing homes

An attorney who handles nursing home abuse and neglect cases will know how to identify and prove negligence by the nursing home. They will also identify failures by individual caregivers and staff.

Is a Gaithersburg Nursing Home Liable for My Loved One’s Abuse?

If our firm can prove that the nursing home violated its duty of care, then they may be negligent. If the home is negligent, it may be liable for your loved one’s losses.

We generally prove negligence in nursing home negligence cases by:

1. Establishing that the nursing home had a duty of care to your loved one
2. Showing that the nursing home breached its duty of care
3. Linking the breach of duty of care to your loved one’s abuse
4. Proving the damages that resulted from your loved one’s abuse

We will support this argument by acquiring all the relevant evidence and documentation specific to your loved one’s case.

What Damages Can My Loved One Recover for Their Abuse in a Nursing Home?

Abuse can cause a wide range of damages, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains. Your loved one may have physical, psychological, emotional, and financial damages. An attorney from Brown & Barron will compassionately identify those losses and determine their monetary cost.

Recoverable damages in your loved one’s case may include:

• Medical costs: Any medical costs your loved one faces because of abuse may be recoverable. These costs can result from emergency treatment, surgery, doctors’ appointments, hospitalization, medications, medical imaging, and other services.
• Pain and suffering: A Gaithersburg attorney with experience in abuse by nursing home staff can work with experts in abuse-related trauma. We will identify all forms of pain and suffering your loved one experienced. Civil courts in Maryland allow abuse victims to seek a financial recovery for trauma under the category of pain and suffering.
• Other economic or non-economic damages resulting from abuse by a nursing home staffer: If your loved one wants to move to a new facility, then we may be able to get coverage for moving expenses. If your loved one has any other economic or non-economic losses because of abuse, we’ll seek an appropriate recovery.

Some cases of nursing home abuse tragically become wrongful death cases. If your loved one passed away because of abuse-related health problems, we can speak with you about a wrongful death claim.
