FAQs
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Not every bad medical outcome is malpractice. To have a valid claim, you must prove:
- A doctor-patient relationship existed – The healthcare provider owed you a duty of care.
- The provider was negligent – Their care fell below the accepted medical standard.
- That negligence caused harm – A mistake directly resulted in injury, worsening condition, or death.
- You suffered damages – Physical, emotional, and financial losses.
If you suspect malpractice, we can review your case and consult with medical experts to determine whether you have a claim.
What compensation can I recover in a medical malpractice case?
Victims of medical negligence may be entitled to:
- Medical Bills – Past and future treatment costs related to the injury
- Lost Wages – If you missed work or can no longer earn the same income
- Pain & Suffering – Physical pain, emotional trauma, and diminished quality of life
- Disability & Long-Term Care – Costs of ongoing rehabilitation, therapy, and assistance
- Wrongful Death Damages – Funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship
We fight to ensure victims receive maximum compensation for their suffering.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Maryland?
Maryland has a strict statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims:
- Three years from the date of injury
- Or five years from when the injury occurred, but no more than three years from when it was discovered
Certain exceptions apply, so it’s critical to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Can I sue a hospital or just the doctor?
It depends on who was responsible for your injuries. In some cases, the hospital, clinic, or medical facility may be liable if:
- They employed the negligent doctor, nurse, or staff member.
- They failed to properly train or supervise their medical staff.
- They allowed unsafe conditions that led to your harm.
We conduct a thorough investigation to determine who is responsible and pursue legal action accordingly.
How do I prove medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice cases require strong evidence, including:
- Medical records showing the treatment you received
- Expert testimony from doctors who confirm the provider’s negligence
- Witness statements from nurses, staff, or other professionals
- Documentation of injuries and how they have impacted your life
Our firm works with top medical experts to build a solid case and hold negligent providers accountable.
