What Is Considered Medical Malpractice in Maryland?

In Maryland, you can bring a medical malpractice lawsuit against a healthcare provider if the provider failed to adhere to standards of practice within their specific field. To pursue damages for your medical malpractice suit, you must be able to prove that your medical practitioner was negligent by act or omission and that their negligence directly caused your injuries.

Medical malpractice cases can be difficult to pursue because not all medical errors are considered malpractice. It is, therefore, best to work with an attorney from Barron & Brown with experience handling a wide range of Maryland medical malpractice cases.  

Common Causes of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can take many forms. Common causes of Maryland medical malpractice claims include: 

• Delayed or incorrect diagnoses
• Incorrect or ineffective treatment
• Failure to act on test results
• Incorrect interpretation of diagnostic test results
• Incorrect or unnecessary surgery
• Wrong medication type or dosage
• Neglectful patient oversight
• Insufficient follow-up

If you or a loved one experienced injuries or loss due to a medical practitioner’s failure to adhere to standards of practice, speak with a medical malpractice attorney at Brown & Barron to find out how you can seek compensation.

Can I Sue My Doctor for Medical Malpractice?

If you suffered an injury due to your doctor’s error or negligence, you may be able to seek compensation under Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 3-2A. A lawyer with expertise in Maryland medical malpractice claims can help you navigate the complex laws governing negligence and healthcare practitioner duty of care. 

Arbitration for Medical Malpractice Claims

Depending on your case, you may need to file your medical malpractice claim in arbitration. If so, you must submit a certificate of a qualified expert, which is a letter from another healthcare professional in the same field. The certificate is intended to corroborate your claim that the defendant did not adhere to established healthcare standards and that their violation of said standards directly caused your injuries. 

Filing a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

You may also be able to waive arbitration and file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. §5-109 places limits on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit, so it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury. 

Whether you submit to arbitration or file a lawsuit, you must be able to prove that:

• You had a relationship with the healthcare practitioner as their patient
• The healthcare practitioner had a duty of care to ensure your well-being
• The healthcare practitioner violated that duty of care
• Their violation of that duty resulted in your injury 

An attorney familiar with Maryland medical malpractice cases can help you decide whether arbitration or a lawsuit is in your best interests.
