How Our Waldorf Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Help When Filing a Medical Negligence Claim
Hospitals, doctors, nurses, and medical insurance providers have plenty of resources at their disposal. This makes filing a lawsuit against a healthcare provider that concludes in your favor quite arduous. You can count on Brown & Barron, LLC, to provide comprehensive representation on even the most complicated medical malpractice cases and fight against deep-pocketed defendants.
Our medical malpractice attorney and legal team will conduct an in-depth investigation and review of your case, compile strong evidence, and negotiate with the liable insurers until an appropriate settlement is reached.
Here are some of the services we offer to medical malpractice victims seeking to file a medical negligence claim:
- Investigate case: Our medical malpractice lawyer serving Waldorf will investigate every angle of your case to understand what occurred. We will aim to identify the parties involved in causing you harm at this stage. Our team will also figure out the full range of damages caused by the negligence.
- Evidence gathering: We will compile medical records, images, video footage, and other key pieces of documentation that demonstrates that the medical provider or hospital engaged in negligent behavior which caused you harm.
- Obtain witness statements: Witness testimonies, especially from medical experts, can add powerful credibility to the case. We may source expert witnesses who can offer technical insight that proves that negligence occurred and identify any discrepancy in the provided information.
- Filing claim: Our legal firm will correctly fill out appropriate forms, draft claim documentation, compile other necessary materials and submit the completed package to the local court within Maryland’s statute of limitation. We will keep you updated every step of the way as your claim moves through the legal system’s different levels.

Our medical negligence attorney will communicate with the insurance adjuster and other parties on your behalf and vigorously negotiate for an offer that best represents your financial losses.
The aftermath of medical malpractice incidents can result in physical and mental trauma and a mountain of bills that may take years to overcome.

Who Can Be Sued for Medical Malpractice?
Medical negligence takes many forms. Here are a few examples:
- Misdiagnoses or delayed diagnosis
- Emergency room or surgical errors
- Administering the wrong medication or incorrect dosage
- Administering the wrong dosage or delayed dosage of anesthesia
- Administering contaminated injections
- Using defective medical products
- Birth injuries to the baby or the mother during labor and delivery
Our attorney will review the facts of your case to learn how and where the negligence occurred so we can then determine who was liable for the malpractice and if some other individuals or entities may share liability for your harm.
Before initiating a medical malpractice lawsuit, you must first determine whose mistake caused the patient’s injury in the first place. Multiple healthcare professionals tend to be involved in a patient’s treatment and care.
Here are a few common at-fault parties in medical negligence cases:
- The medical professional
- Family physician
- Nurse
- Surgeon
- Gynecologist
- Midwives
- Physical assistant
- Nurse practitioner
- Dentist
- Pharmacist
- Optometrist
- Anesthesiologist
- Paramedics
Medical errors can stem from any healthcare provider, and they must be held accountable for their negligence so that they do not make the same mistake again and harm other patients. Hospitals and other facilities that employ the liable medical professional can hold fault for their employee’s actions under the vicarious liability principle.
Here are some instances when a hospital may be held accountable:
- Not conducting sufficient background checks before hiring a medical provider
- Not verifying the medical professionals’ experience, training, and license
- Not addressing the complaints against the liable employee
- Not having, inspecting, or maintaining the premise or an equipment
Other medical practitioners and healthcare facilities can also be liable for medical malpractice. If you believe that the injuries you suffered resulted from the negligent act of a medical professional or entity, contact our legal firm as soon as possible. Our Waldorf medical malpractice attorney will investigate your case and identify all liable parties.
