Legal Answers
140 Questions Answered
- Q. I was hit by a driver who lives out of state. Can I still sue him in Maryland or do I have to travel to his state?
- A: Good question. You can sue the driver in Maryland for any tort that occurs in Maryland.
- Q. We were told a procedure was risky and it didn't work - can we still sue?
- A: There has to be negligence. That is the key. Did they perform the risky procedure like an ordinary, reasonable prudent surgeon would. It is not the outcome that matters. It is whether a mistake was made.
- Q. Do medical malpractice laws apply to nurses and other non-doctor hospital personnel as well?
- A: Yes.
- Q. Is there a maximum amount of money I can recover if I win a medical malpractice suit in Maryland?
- A: Google Maryland malpractice cap to find out the exact numbers. It is based on the year of the injury. The pain and suffering cap this year is 800k. There is no cap on economic damages.
- Q. Is there ever a situation where a patient injured due to a surgeon's negligence can collect punitive damages?
- A: Good question. There is no possibility in Maryland unless the surgeon had actual intent to cause you harm.
- Q. How serious of an injury do I need to have suffered in order to win a med mal case against a hospital?
- A: You do not need a serious case to win. You need a serious case to get a lawyer interested in your claim if you want to pay by contingency fee. How series is a sliding scale based on how obvious the malpractice is.
- Q. My daughter's doctor took her cast off too early and she broke her leg in the same place again a week later.
- A: I would depend on the facts of the case. A bad outcome does not mean malpractice. If you could prove that a reasonable, prudent doctor would not have taken the cast off early, you have a theoretical case.
- Q. I just found out I was misdiagnosed and underwent an unnecessary surgery. How much can I recover? Just the bills?
- A: You could potentially recover your bills, you lost wags, and your pain and suffering damages if a jury were to find a mistake was made.
- Q. My doctor prescribed me a medication that I ended up being allergic to. Can I sue for medical malpractice?
- A: As a practical matter, unless you suffered serious injuries, no lawyer would take this case. Whether you have a theoretical case would depend on whether the doctor knew or had reason to know you might be allergic to that medication.
