Urgent Care Medical Professionals Have a Responsibility To Provide a Standard of Care

- A doctor-patient relationship existed.
- The medical professional administered a substandard level of care when treating you.
- This breach directly led to your injuries.
- Your injury resulted in financial losses.
Various parties may bear liability for your injuries. Our legal team will investigate to determine who to pursue compensation from.

Forms of Medical Negligence in Urgent Care Centers

- Medication errors, such as adverse drug reactions
- Failure to properly sterilize medical equipment
- Failure to prevent infection
- Failure to properly refer a patient to a hospital or specialist
- Failure to properly discharge a patient with at-home care instructions
- Failure to consider a patient’s medical history
Our medical malpractice legal team will get to the bottom of exactly what caused your injury or medical condition. We can also recommend highly qualified medical professionals to help address your injuries and provide proper treatment. These professionals can also serve as expert witnesses whose testimony can help with your case.

Begin Your Perry Hall Urgent Care Medical Malpractice Case as Soon as Possible
We may begin your medical malpractice case by filing an insurance claim; however, we may also take legal action at some point. You should know that you have a deadline to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Maryland. According to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-109, you generally have:
- Five years from the date your injury occurred at the urgent care facility or
- Three years from the date you reasonably discovered the injury caused by an urgent care facility
This may seem like ample time, but you should get started on your case as soon as possible. It takes time to build a medical malpractice case, and there are few exceptions to the statute of limitations.
