How Our Ellicott City Medical Malpractice Lawyers Build Your Case
A medical malpractice case can get complicated, especially if multiple parties were involved. You don’t have to worry about such complications, however; our team can handle every aspect of your case. We can:
- Investigate the medical error that led to your injuries
- Gather evidence of the substandard care you received
- Calculate your losses
- File a personal injury claim or lawsuit
- Negotiate with the insurance companies
- Represent you at trial, if necessary
We provide timely updates on your case, so you’re always in the loop about what’s going on. That way, you can make informed decisions regarding your case, treatment, and next steps.
Our Medical Malpractice Lawyers Prove Negligence Led to Your Injuries
Medical professionals must follow a standard of care when treating their patients. When we take on your case, we will work to demonstrate that your doctor violated this standard. Essentially, this involves proving that another doctor in the same specialty would have acted differently in the same situation.
Then, we must show that your injuries were a direct result of the medical error in question. Examples of medical errors that can arise out of negligence include:
- Errors with anesthesia
- Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong side of the body or leaving equipment in the body
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose
- Medication errors, including dosage errors and adverse reactions
- Errors in prenatal care or delivery
- Failure to consider the patient’s medical history
- Improper discharge
These forms of negligence can take place in a hospital, urgent care, or general physician’s office.
Our Medical Malpractice Lawyers Uncover Liability in Your Case
As noted, there could be multiple parties responsible for your losses, as many professionals can be involved in rendering care. For example, some potentially liable parties in a medical malpractice case can include:
- Doctors, including urgent care doctors
- Specialists
- Nurses
- Medical assistants
- Surgeons
- Anesthesiologists
- Hospital administrators
- Pharmacists
We can get to the bottom of who caused or contributed to your injuries and work to hold them financially accountable.

Our Ellicott City Lawyers Seek Compensation for Your Medical Malpractice Case
Medical errors can have a twofold effect on victims. The medical professional not only failed to properly treat their original condition but also caused new injuries. This could hurt your quality of life, independence, and career.
You don’t deserve to suffer all this if someone else was at fault. Our legal team is dedicated to seeking fair compensation for your losses. We want you to access the medical care you need to recover and get back to your new normal.
That’s why we make sure to accurately assess your losses and field insurance settlement offers. The last thing we want you to do is foot the bill later on because you accepted an unfair offer. Financial recovery in your Ellicott City malpractice case may include:
Medical Expenses
We can seek compensation for the medical bills associated with your original injury, as well as your subsequent injuries after a medical error. Losses may include:
- Surgeries
- Medications
- Hospital stays
- Diagnostic testing
- Medical equipment
- Doctors and specialists
- Rehabilitation
You should be able to access the care you need to reach maximum medical recovery. We’re here to seek that for you.
Pain and Suffering
You could also recover compensation for your physical pain and emotional suffering. You should not have had to endure that due to a medical professional’s negligence. Our lawyers can seek awards for this non-economic loss.
Lost Income and Reduced Earning Capacity
You likely missed work when healing from your injuries, and lost income is an award we can seek for you. On top of that, awards for reduced earning capacity may also apply if you cannot return to work or cannot earn your pre-injury wages. This damage can help make up the difference between the two.
Disability
If you suffered a permanent disability due to your injuries, we can seek additional awards. For example, we can seek financial recovery for rehabilitation, in-home aid, and medical devices. Our law firm can recover every expense you need to maintain your quality of life and move forward.

You Must Meet the Statute of Limitations in Your Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
According to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-109, you generally have five years from the time the medical injury occurred (or three years from the time you reasonably discovered it) to file a lawsuit.
Our lawyers can help you meet the statute of limitations deadline, but the sooner you call, the better. If you miss this deadline, you risk losing your chance to seek compensation through civil action. You may have no recourse to make an insurer honor a personal injury claim after that.
We can work to make the legal process as speedy and smooth as possible.
