My Doctor Will Do The Right Thing And Settle With Me For His Or Her Mistake, Right?
Maryland Medical Malpractice Trial Attorneys medicalinjury@bostonlawllc.com 301-850-4832 www.bostonlawllc.com
Your doctor has made a surgical error, which has caused you serious injuries. You now think that by calling your doctor (assuming you can even get him or her on the phone at this point) and explaining your pain and challenging future outlook, that your doctor will "make things right" and settle your claim. Unfortunately if you are thinking this way you are more than likely badly mistaken.
Proving a medical malpractice case is a very complex task under Maryland law. There are numerous hurdles that you must jump through just to get your case into court. If you do not follow these procedures to the letter, chances are your case will be dismissed or unsuccessful.
Doctors are not only aware of this fact, but doctors now that there are serious consequences that can result from a medical malpractice finding. For example, these types of claims can have an adverse effect on a doctor's medical malpractice insurance.
Also, a doctor's privileges at certain hospitals may be revoked depending on the facts and circumstances. Finally, a doctor's license to practice medicine may be effected. It is for these reasons, and others, that your doctor more than likely is not going to settle any of your claims against them if you are trying to handle these types of cases on your own. At the end of the day, these doctors have attorneys representing them and they know that there is a very slim chance that a pro se plaintiff (a person representing themselves) will be able to navigate these legal waters.
If you think that you have been the victim of medical malpractice, and you would like to speak to someone further about what you should do, or you now know you need a professional to help you negotiate this process, we invite you to give us a call. We can be reached at 301-850-4832. Individuals like you ask us Maryland medical malpractice questions all the time and we would be glad to listen to your story.

If I Suffer Nerve Injury After A Surgery Is It Always Maryland Medical Malpractice?
Maryland Medical Malpractice Trial Attorneys medicalinjury@bostonlawllc.com 301-850-4832 www.bostonlawllc.com
An individual contacted our office after having shoulder surgery. This person began having a sharp pain in their forearm leading down to their hand. They voiced concerns to their doctor about this pain and was assured that it was just an after effect of the recent surgery.
The person continued with their physical therapy and home exercises, hoping that things would soon get better. Unfortunately for them, things did not get better. As a matter of fact, this individual's hand began to give them serious problems and they decided that it was now time to speak with a Maryland medical malpractice attorney due to their continued pain.
We were able to get our client's medical records. What we discovered in the records was that our client had experienced a bad accident almost a year earlier, in which the forearm and hand could have been injured.
Add to this, after examining the surgical notes and procedures, there was no evidence that the surgeons departed from the standard of care in our client's surgery. In addition, in the informed consent in which our client signed, nerve pain and injury was a risk associated with the type of surgery that our client was undergoing.
As a result of all of this, we had no choice but to inform our client that our investigation into the case strongly suggested that this was not going to be a successful Maryland medical malpractice claim.
If you have suffered from serious nerve damage after a surgery, and you are wondering if medical malpractice is the cause of your injury, we invite you to give us a call. We can be reached at 301-850-4832. We answer questions like yours regarding Maryland medical malpractice law all the time and we would be glad to hear your story.

You think that you are the victim of medical malpractice but you are not sure if you are supposed to pay for your medical expert's opinion or your attorney. Who pays ultimately? To understand this issue you must look to your fee agreement with your attorney.
The reason this is the case is because your fee agreement will govern how costs are dealt with in your case. Because the payment of medical experts is deemed a "cost," the fee agreement will indicate who picks up costs.
You must understand costs because some attorneys will make you repay costs regardless of whether you "win" your case. So if your attorney pays for a medical expert and requests your medical records, and then through investigation determines that your case may not be successful, if your fee agreement indicates you repay costs regardless of whether your case is successful or not, this attorney may bill you for the expert and medical records fee.
