Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer

A woman was walking along the sidewalk in October when the sidewalks were covered with leaves.  She did not see a change in the level of the sidewalk, thus causing her to stumble and fall.  She was unable to get up because she knew that she had a fractured foot or ankle.  A passerby came to her aid and called 911, but told her that she had grounds for a lawsuit, and should contact a maryland personal injury lawyer.

The woman was transferred to a local hospital by the EMS unit in stable condition.  In the ER, she told the attending nurse that she had to go to the bathroom.  She had been given a dose of morphine for pain.  The ER nurse rolled in a porta-potty for her to use, then the nurse (a male) left.  As she attempted to pull down her slacks, while standing on one foot, she lost her balance and fell forward.  She put her arms out to break her fall, but she soon felt a horrible pain from her right shoulder.

Later that evening she was transferred to a metropolitan area hospital where she learned that she had a fractured right calcaneus and a fractured right humeral head from the fall in the hospital.  After foot surgery with pins placed in her foot, she was sent to a nursing home for three months of rehab therapy.  Upon release from the nursing home, she found out that her right foot had been re-fracctured due to aggressive physical therapy in the nursing home and the Achilles tendon was also torn.  She would need another surgery.  A year and a half later, she was finally able to have a shoulder replacement surgery to fix the horrible pain endured all of that time from the fractured shoulder.

While in the nursing home, this patient was forced by her insurance company to sign a form stating that she would not sue any of the parties involved unless the insurance company would be able to recoup their expenses first from that lawsuit.  This lady needed a really good maryland personal injury lawyer.  There is no way she should have suffered so much pain for so many months, and under the circumstances of medical malpractice in two of the instances.  Is there a maryland personal injury lawyer that can help her get some reimbursement for her injuries?
