Medical malpractice cases in the Maryland and Washington, DC area are often complex and require an experienced attorney to understand and present the facts of the injury in order to make the necessary links between the negligent act and actual injury. Only an experienced Medical malpractice attorney will know the Maryland and Washington, DC courts systems, insurance claims personnel, medical malpractice defense attorneys, and medical experts well enough to move your claim towards a successful resolution as quickly and efficiently as possible. We have been handling District of Columbia and Maryland medical malpractice cases since 1973. We have also successfully handled medical malpractice cases throughout the United States.

Generally speaking, in order for someone to have a viable medical malpractice claim, a doctor or other healthcare provider (physicians, nurses, hospitals, psychologists, x-ray technicians and a variety of other medical professionals) must have committed a negligent act that deviated from the accepted standard of medical care, and that negligent act must have caused significant injury. In other words, if your doctor in Baltimore misread your test result, that act must have been something no other reasonably prudent doctor would have done under the same circumstances.

A medical malpractice lawsuit can be based on many different negligent acts, including, but not limited to:

• Failing to diagnose a disease
• Delaying diagnosis of a disease
• Making surgical errors
• Failing to properly treat a medical condition
• Over-medication
• Making errors during the prenatal and/or birth process
• Negligent Hospital Care
• Negligent Nursing Home Care

The statutes of limitation (how long you have to file a claim after you have been harmed) in Washington, D.C and Maryland are surprisingly short. If you do not settle your claim or file suit before the statute's expiration, your claim is permanently barred.
