Placing a loved one in a nursing home can be emotionally and financially draining. We trust the health care professionals at these facilities to look after our loved ones, and we expect them to maintain certain standards of care.
Unfortunately, neglect and abuse happen frequently at nursing homes, but can remain undiscovered or covered up. A medication mix-up can lead to the worsening of a medical condition or death; lack of care can lead to a resident developing painful and potentially life-threatening bedsores.
Elder Abuse Attorney Serving Baltimore and Greater Maryland | Roger S. Weinberg
Although residents can be injured in many ways in nursing homes, there is one common thread to a successful personal injury lawsuit — the injuries must be caused by negligence.
In such cases, an attorney with experience in nursing home abuse and neglect litigation can be an invaluable ally. Attorney Roger S. Weinberg has been helping clients throughout Maryland with these issues since the 1990s.
He founded the Maryland Trial Lawyers Association section concerning nursing home litigation and was one of the first attorneys in Maryland to litigate nursing home neglect and abuse cases. He is a frequent lecturer among his peers on legal issues pertaining to nursing home abuse and neglect.
Mr. Weinberg thoroughly understands the types of injuries that result from these situations and how they occur. He is deeply familiar with the relevant Maryland laws and court procedures and can competently advise and advocate for clients whose loved ones have been injured or died due to negligence or malice by physicians, nurses and other caregivers at Maryland nursing homes.
Most of all, Roger S. Weinberg believes all nursing home residents deserve to be treated with dignity. He is passionate that the rights of nursing home patients should and must be protected.
