Maryland Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Baltimore Attorneys Serving Victims of Mistakes by Hospital & Healthcare Providers

[Photo of Surgeon]Unfortunately, about 200,000 Americans die each year as a result of medical malpractice, and several hundred thousands of patients suffer serious injuries as a result of poor decisions and carelessness made by doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. In many cases, the patient is already suffering from a difficult medical condition. The last thing that the victim and his or her loved one needs is to face a complex lawsuit alone. Our medical malpractice lawyers have almost two decades of experience representing victims of medical malpractice in Baltimore and throughout the Maryland and Washington, D.C. region. We are prepared to aggressively assert your rights and help you pursue the compensation that you deserve.

Hold A Negligent Medical Care Provider Responsible

In order to recover damages for injuries suffered as the result of medical malpractice, the plaintiff must establish that the healthcare professional violated the applicable standard of care. The standard in this context includes the generally accepted practices and procedures that are utilized by other medical professionals within the same geographic area when treating patients who have a similar disorder, condition, or disease. This standard can vary depending on several factors, including the gender, age, and background of the patient and their unique medical history. Examples of medical professionals who must adhere to this standard of care include surgeons, obstetricians, pharmacists, chiropractors, internists, podiatrists, nursing home specialists, pediatricians, nurses, and emergency medicine physicians.

Seek Compensation for Your Injuries

After establishing that the medical professional failed to meet the appropriate standard of care, the plaintiff must establish that this failure was the direct cause of his or her injuries. The standard of care can be breached in a number of scenarios, including: delay in diagnosis, surgical error, birth trauma or birth injury, anesthesia errors, prescribing the wrong course of action, and failing to remove surgical objects from a patient’s body. The injuries that result from medical malpractice accidents are often serious and life changing, and can include traumatic brain injuries, burn injuries, and wrongful death. In some situations, the close family relatives may have a claim for loss of consortium, which recognizes the loss of love, support, and companionship that a family member suffers as a result of their loved one’s death.

In Maryland, a medical malpractice case is subject to a statute of limitations, which means that you must file your claim with the Maryland Health Care Alternative Dispute Resolution Office (before proceeding to court) within a specific period of time. Failure to file the claim and later lawsuit within the limited time period will forever bar a victim from doing so. There are many significant exceptions to the basic Maryland statute of limitations, including those involving injuries to minors, and birth injuries due to medical malpractice. It is highly recommended that the specific facts of a potential case be discussed with a lawyer familiar with the workings of the Maryland statute of limitations in order to determine the filing deadlines of a specific potential case.

I am proud to have had Lebowitz & Mzhen represent me in an automobile personal injury case I was involved with. Not only did they come through with a settlement worth far more than I thought possible, the entire office was always friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to answer any questions I had. Should an incident like this occur again, I will not hesitate to contact Lebowitz & Mzhen for their counsel, advice and representation, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking honest and effective attorneys.
