Medical Malpractice/ Professional Negligence
Of all the lawsuits pending throughout this country few are as complex, intellectually demanding and as highly contested as Medical Malpractice lawsuits. Every day negligent medical care in the Baltimore, Maryland and Washington D.C. Metro areas result in patients suffering injuries, unforeseen outcomes and wrongful-death. A high percentage of these cases are directly attributable to acts of medical negligence on the part of a doctor, physician, nurse, hospital, nursing home or other health care provider. The insurance companies that represent the various doctors, nurses, hospitals, birthing centers and nursing homes have unlimited resources to defend their interests and to avoid compensating the injured patient or family member who may have a valid medical malpractice claim.
