What Goes Into Fighting a Nursing Home Abuse Case in Elkton?
Your family has suffered a grievous injury. Worst of all, that injury was preventable: the nursing home had a legal and moral responsibility to protect your loved one. Instead, they allowed the abuse to go unchecked, which has had devastating consequences for your entire family.
At a time like this, all you want to do is spend time with your loved one and make sure they are safe. Our Elkton nursing home abuse lawyers can give you the chance to do so while protecting your legal rights. Here is how we do it:
- Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers can investigate the alleged abuse, collecting documentation, testimony, and physical evidence to prove your case against either the nursing home or an individual employee.
- We give you 24/7 access to our team through a unique phone number. Text that number at any time and receive prompt assistance.
- Our abuse lawyers in Elkton can communicate with the nursing home’s representatives on your behalf. That includes requesting evidence and negotiating an appropriate settlement.
- If and when the nursing home’s insurance company refuses to cooperate with your case, we can represent you in court. Our legal representatives can tell your story to a jury, which will decide whether or not to award damages.
- If your loved one needs medical care, our nursing home abuse attorneys can recommend a high–quality doctor in your area. Our medical-legal partnerships allow us to ensure our clients get the treatment they need, when they need it.

Damages Our Elkton Attorneys Can Seek for Nursing Home Abuse
It may seem crude to think of money at a time like this, but the truth is, your family needs and deserves fair compensation from the nursing home. This money would allow you to:
- Support your loved one and provide them with appropriate care for as long as required
- Take as much time as your family needs to figure out what to do next
- Hold the liable party responsible for the damage they have done
Nursing Home Abuse Victims Could Recover Economic and Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages serve as compensation for your loved one’s physical and emotional distress. Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers can seek damages based on:
- The physical pain and symptoms associated with the abuse
- Psychological harm caused by living in an abusive environment
- New or worsened disabilities your loved one was diagnosed with
- Loss of quality of life, if your loved one’s ability to take care of themselves or enjoy certain activities has diminished since the abuse began
You could also recover economic damages for your loved one’s medical expenses, your own lost wages if you took time off work to help them, and any other costs or bills associated with the abuse.

Types of Nursing Home Abuse You Can Seek Compensation for
The word “abuse” may bring to mind a particular form of mistreatment, but nursing home abuse can take many forms. Common types of nursing home abuse that Adam Smallow Injury Lawyers can help you seek justice for include:
- Neglect: The nursing home failed to provide for your loved one’s most basic needs, including medical care, nutrition, and social stimulation.
- Physical: Someone at the home struck your loved one or handled them much more roughly than necessary.
- Psychological: Someone at the home went out of their way to make your loved one feel bad or confused, perhaps by insulting them or lying repeatedly.
- Sexual: Someone at the home made inappropriate advances toward your loved one or forced them to participate in sexual acts against their will.
- Financial: Your loved one’s personal property or assets were taken away from them through fraudulent charges or manipulation.
Abuse and neglect is never acceptable. Let our nursing home abuse lawyers in Elkton investigate the nursing home and find enough evidence to get your family fair compensation as soon as possible.
