How Medical Negligence Occurs in Urgent Care Facilities
People go to urgent care facilities for various injuries and ailments. However, it is up to the urgent care medical professionals to assess their conditions, treat them properly, or refer patients to the hospital or other medical specialists.
When they fail to provide the appropriate standard of care, patients can suffer new injuries, along with complications due to their original injuries or illness being left untreated. A seemingly minor injury or ailment that brings a patient into an urgent care center can quickly worsen without proper assessment and treatment. In turn, this can cause the patient greater suffering and additional financial losses.
Our Glen Burnie urgent care medical malpractice attorneys can determine how a preventable medical error led to your injuries and seek fair financial recovery. Consider the following forms of negligence that can cause injuries in an urgent care facility:
- Failure to diagnose
- Delayed diagnosis
- Failure to prevent infection
- Failure to refer a patient to the hospital
- Medication errors, such as dosage errors
- Lack of proper follow-up

Get Started on Your Urgent Care Medical Malpractice Case Right Away
According to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-109, you generally have either five years from the date the injury occurred or three years from the date you reasonably discovered the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Maryland.
This may seem like ample time; however, getting started on your case as soon as possible is best. Building a medical malpractice case takes time, and you will want to give yours the time it deserves. Moreover, you must comply with this deadline to avoid losing your right to hold a liable party accountable in civil court.
Our legal team can begin working on your case immediately after you call, and we will do everything to move the process along as quickly as possible.
