Medical malpractice is a term that is used a lot, but in many instances, people do not really know what it means. Just because you had a bad result during a medical procedure is not necessarily medical malpractice. In its basic terms you are trying to show that your doctor fell below the standard of care in your case, and this is what caused your injury.

Has Any Of This Happened To You Or A Loved One?

A loved one checks into a hospital for a “routine” medical procedure and dies during surgery?

You have discovered a lump in your breast and have a family history of breast cancer, yet your cancer is still misdiagnosed?

During your gallbladder removal, your doctor cuts the common bile duct and does not repair it, causing you to suffer massive infection and or sepsis?

The patient advocate, employed by the hospital, is doing all he or she can to deflect blame from the hospital and direct it to you?

Your doctor tells you to “just sign here” but has not explained hardly anything to you on the form he or she wants you to sign?

Situations like this happen in hospitals and medical offices throughout America, with Maryland not being immune. This is why it is important for Maryland medical malpractice attorneys to provide helpful information to families so that not only do they understand the medical malpractice process, but so that they are prepared to move forward in these types of cases to seek the justice they deserve.

One of the main reasons why medical malpractice cases can be a challenge is the fact that the public truly believes that doctors do the best that they can, and that they do not “mean to make a mistake.” This is one reason why doctors usually win close to 80% of medical malpractice cases when they are tried in front of a jury. This is also why it is not only important that Maryland medical malpractice attorneys take the time to screen these types of cases carefully, but spend time framing the issues in such a way that members of the jury can clearly see that the doctor needlessly endangered his or her patient. Here at Boston Law Group, LLC, we make it our business to provide Maryland medical malpractice educational information to the public so that you are prepared for this process. We do this not only through our educational website, but though our books and numerous educational videos.
