A spectrum of people asnd companies can be held accountable in a wrongful death claim such as hospitals, doctors, your boss, the designer/builder of a faulty highway, a person who sold; served; or gave alcohol to an impaired driver, or even the driver or employer at fault in a car accident, just to name a few examples.

When an error occurs in everyday life, an apology and restitution are expected. In health care, when a medical error occurs, disclosure and apology are often foregone, for fear that such statements would constitute an admission of guilt and leave a medical professional or company liable for damages caused. To allow medical professionals to extend sympathy to their patients and resolve issues without legal intervention, many states have adopted “apology laws,” that prevent apologetic statements from being used as an admission of guilt. To date, 36 states, as well as the District of Columbia, have apology laws that prohibit certain statements, expressions, or other evidence related to disclosure, from being admissible in a lawsuit.

When an insurance company denies your auto accident claim stating you were at fault, you can obtain a lawyer to argue the decision on your behalf. The lawyer would proceed to appeal the matter with the insurance company. Another option is to file a Complaint with the Maryland Insurance Administration on your own.

The kinds of mistakes that lead to a malpractice case can vary in many ways. However, the mistake must lead to a permanent injury to be considered for a medical malpractice cause of action. These mistakes must also be considered to be breaches in the standard of care. This is legal terminology that requires a medical expert to opine that the mistake should not have occurred without unacceptable wrongdoing. A lawyer can help you determine if your case may meet the necessary criteria for malpractice, but ultimately, a medical expert will make that definitive determination after reviewing the patient’s relevant medical records.

A lawyer’s fee for a medical malpractice case is not paid in advance. An attorney collects their fee from a medical malpractice case on a contingency basis. Specifically, the fee is collected by the attorney at the time of settlement or verdict. If the attorney is unable to win the case, there is no fee collected. Typically, the fee will amount to a percentage of what the attorney was able to recover for the client.

In Maryland, to sue a hospital or any physician, you must have incurred an injury because of their actions. Sometimes, a physician or hospital can provide inaccurate information, such as a false negative covid-19 test result, to a patient. However, if this inaccuracy did not result in an injury, the patient will not have a compensable case. On the other hand, if the negative test results delayed treatment for Covid due to believing the patient is not Covid positive, and this delay caused permanent injury to the patient, then and only then, can a malpractice case be pursued. If you have any further questions, contact us today.

To pursue a malpractice case in Maryland, the child must have sustained an injury as a result of the physician’s negligence. The degree of the injury, i.e. minor v. major, aides in the determination of the monetary value of the case. If you have sustained a birth injury, contact us today with the details.

A birth defect is an abnormality or condition that is present at birth. A birth defect usually forms during the pregnancy before the baby is born and affects the organs and systems of the body. Possible causes of a birth defect include conditions that are generic or inherited or could even be from the mother’s exposure to toxic substances. It is usually not preventable in the fetus despite best treatment or timely diagnosis. However, a birth injury differs as it usually occurs during the labor or delivery process. Another difference is most often birth injuries can be avoided. Although complications for any reason can happen during the birthing process, birth injuries can be caused by negligence of a healthcare provider. If this is something that has happened to you, contact us today.

If the provider was negligent in the care or treatment being rendered and "breached the standard of care," we must then prove that their negligence caused the permanent and severe injuries that resulted. As such, we must show that the patient was significantly harmed by the provider's substandard conduct. This is often difficult to prove, and that is why we employ top-notch medical experts from all over the country to assist in medical record review, literature searches, independent patient examinations, and in providing medical testimony based on their vast experience, knowledge and training.

Once a case settles, the client will sign a release indicating that the settlement is sufficient to release all claims against the negligent parties. Once the Release is signed and returned to the attorneys representing the liable parties, the insurance company for the negligent parties will begin the process of issuing a check for the settlement proceeds. During that time, the attorneys for both sides will confirm that all outstanding debts owed to any health insurance companies for payment incurred as a result of the malpractice are paid in full, so that the client is not left with outstanding medical expenses after their case has been resolved. Once it is it confirmed that there are no unpaid medical expenses, and the settlement proceeds have been tendered by the defendants' insurance carrier, the funds can be disbursed.

Typically, the negligent medical providers' malpractice carrier will reimburse the client for all medical expenses related to the lawsuit. During the time in which the lawsuit is pending, the patient can provide their attorneys with copies of the bills they receive that are not covered by their health insurance. As your lawyers, we can also inform your medical providers that the bill will be paid for from any proceeds recovered from litigation or settlement. This is a way to prevent the patient from receiving notices from the provider about overdue bills or having the unpaid bills affect their credit. Of course, it is always recommended that the patient pay any bills if they are able, and to expect reimbursement for those out-of-pocket expenses from their settlement proceeds.
