Maryland Accident Lawyers < Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice occurs when a physician fails to properly treat a condition, resulting in a new or aggravating injury to the patient. Medical malpractice claims may arise when a physician acts in a manner that would be considered unacceptable when compared to how another physician with similar training might act. Our experienced lawyers can help determine if you have a case against a physician that you can take to court.

Many people don't realize that doctors aren't the only professionals whom patients can sue for malpractice. In fact, most health care providers including chiropractors, therapists, nurses, psychologists and dentists are subject to such legal action. By the same token, an unanticipated or unsuccessful result from treatment or surgery does not in itself mean that you can bring a lawsuit.

Common examples of malpractice claims include:

Failure to properly diagnose a disease or illness
Failure to properly monitor patients
Failure to properly treat the diagnosed disease
Surgical errors including wrong-site surgery or anesthesia errors
Failure to fully inform the patient of the risks of certain procedures and surgeries
Prescription drugs errors
Improper use of equipment or implants

Of course, this is just a sampling of some of the more common examples of malpractice claims. The array of complications and problems that can arise as a result of medical malpractice are far too complex and detailed to address each instance in detail.
