If your loved one was injured at a nursing home, senior care facility, or rehabilitation center, you may be entitled to compensation.
Families trust nursing homes to care for their loved ones competently and with dignity and respect. In fact, these elder care facilities are required to do so as a matter of law. But they don’t always meet their obligations to residents. When they don’t, the result is often serious physical injury or even death.
Holding negligent or abusive senior care facilities accountable and delivering the compensation families deserve is what we do. Our nursing home lawyers have over 40 years of experience, and include a board-certified physician. We offer our services on a contingency fee basis, which means you will not pay anything unless we obtain compensation on your behalf.
If your loved one was injured in a nursing home, contact us today for a free, no-obligation case review.

Featured Verdicts and Settlements
- $9 Million for Nursing Home Negligence: A Baltimore County nursing home resident died from a painful, infected pressure injury (also known as a bedsore or pressure ulcer) caused by the negligence of the second-largest nursing home in Maryland. The verdict included $8 million as compensation to the deceased’s estate for his pain and suffering and $1.045 million for the emotional harm suffered by his family. This is believed to be the highest verdict ever recorded in a Maryland nursing home case.
What Should You Do Now?
If you believe your loved one may be the victim of neglect or physical abuse, it’s important to first make sure they, and fellow residents, are safe. Once they’re out of harm’s way, it’s important to contact an attorney who can help you take the correct legal action to hold the abusers, and the institution that enabled them, accountable for their actions.

We understand that this can be an extremely difficult time in your lives, and we do everything we can to make it easier.
