Owings Mills Medical Malpractice Lawyer
When you seek medical treatment at your doctor’s office, surgical center, urgent care, or hospital, you trust that the doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals will provide the care you need to recover or manage your health condition. However, when medical professionals make errors that cause serious harm, the consequences can be devastating. At Hardball Law, our Owings Mills medical malpractice lawyer is dedicated to holding negligent healthcare providers accountable and securing the compensation you deserve.
Important Facts About Medical Malpractice in Maryland
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care required of a professional with similar training and experience in the community, resulting in injury or death to the patient. This could involve a range of scenarios, including surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and failure to obtain informed consent.
Maryland law requires that to succeed in a medical malpractice claim, the injured party must prove that the healthcare provider’s negligence directly caused their injury. Before any legal claim can be filed, a qualified medical expert must review the case and certify that the case has merit and that malpractice did occur and caused injury. This is where the experience and expertise of our Owings Mills medical malpractice lawyer becomes crucial. We have the skills and resources to thoroughly investigate your case, work with qualified medical experts, gather compelling evidence, and build a strong claim on your behalf.
Our attorneys at Hardball Law have extensive experience handling a variety of medical malpractice cases, including:
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or causing unintended damage to organs, can lead to life-threatening complications.
- Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis: When a doctor fails to diagnose a serious condition, such as cancer or a heart attack, or delays the diagnosis, the patient may miss critical treatment opportunities, resulting in worsened outcomes.
- Medication Errors: Incorrect dosages, wrong medications, or failure to recognize harmful drug interactions can cause severe reactions or exacerbate a patient’s condition.
- Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth can result in injuries to the baby, such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brain damage, which can have lifelong consequences.
- Anesthesia Errors: Mistakes made by anesthesiologists, such as administering too much or too little anesthesia, can lead to serious injuries, including brain damage or death.
