Professional Negligence Lawyers in Maryland

Trust In Medical Professionals Has No Room for Error

A patient’s well-being can be greatly impacted by a doctor’s mistake, misdiagnoses, or failure to properly identify and treat the problem. Medical malpractice cases arise when a medical professional fails to provide—or recognize—proper health care treatment.

In the medical field, professional negligence is a breach in the standard of care medical professionals should provide to their patients. They are specifically trained to be able to administer a standard level of care in diagnosing and treating medical issues.

A medical professional may be sued for professional negligence if their level of treatment does not meet a standard of care and in turn brings preventable harm to a patient.

Various medical professionals who could be held liable may include:

  • Surgeons
  • Primary care physicians
  • Specialists
  • Nurses
  • Physical therapists

Because every case of professional negligence is unique, be sure to speak to an experienced attorney as soon as possible if you suspect medical negligence. From our offices, we help clients receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
