Are nursing home abuse or neglect injuries and deaths medical malpractice cases?
The answer to the question of whether a nursing home case is a medical malpractice case depends on the facts of the claim. Nursing home cases in Maryland may be essentially medical malpractice claims, or they may be a different type of claim. Nursing home cases involving mismanagement of the patient’s medical condition are very common. They may involve the nursing home medical director, nurses, or other health care providers may be a medical malpractice claim. If this is the case, they are health care providers under Maryland law and our medical malpractice lawyers bring these claims as we would any other medical malpractice case. Other cases of neglect and abuse are not medical malpractice claim.
