When medical professionals fail to provide safe, competent care, the results can be life-changing. From surgical mistakes to birth injuries and emotional trauma, victims deserve justice. Our Maryland medical malpractice and injury team is here to help you pursue full and fair compensation when negligence leads to harm.
What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice in Maryland?
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider’s actions fall below the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. In Maryland, you may have a valid claim if your situation involves:
- Surgical errors or preventable “never events”
- Birth injuries from improper use of tools like forceps or vacuums
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Medication errors or incorrect prescriptions
- Failure to monitor patient conditions or respond to emergencies
- Psychological trauma caused by medical negligence
These cases often require in-depth investigation and expert testimony. Our legal team has the resources to uncover what went wrong and who is responsible.
Can You Be Compensated for Emotional Distress?
Emotional distress is a legally recognized form of damage. After a medical error or serious accident, victims often experience anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress. We help clients document emotional harm and pursue compensation when the suffering goes beyond temporary discomfort and significantly affects daily life.
Birth Injury Claims in Maryland
Birth injuries are among the most devastating outcomes of medical negligence. When improper procedures or care lead to long-term complications for a newborn, families may be entitled to financial compensation. Our attorneys handle cases involving traumatic deliveries, misuse of medical tools, delayed C-sections, and other delivery room errors.
Understanding Never Events in Healthcare
“Never events” are serious medical mistakes that should never happen—such as wrong-site surgeries, retained surgical instruments, or medication administered to the wrong patient. These are clear violations of safety protocols, and victims may have grounds for a strong legal claim under Maryland malpractice law.
