Protecting elderly residents from abuse and neglect in Maryland nursing homes and care facilities.
Placing a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility is one of the most difficult decisions a family can make. You trust that the facility will provide competent, compassionate care. When that trust is broken through negligence, abuse, or understaffing, the consequences for vulnerable residents can be devastating. Bedsores, falls, medication errors, malnutrition, and emotional abuse are all signs that a facility may be failing in its duty of care.
At Killian Law Group, our nursing home negligence attorneys fight to protect elderly residents and hold negligent facilities accountable for the harm they cause.

Compensation may include medical expenses resulting from the negligence, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in cases involving death, wrongful death damages. In cases involving willful misconduct, punitive damages may also be available to punish the facility and deter future negligence.
