Maryland Hospital Malpractice Lawyer

 

       Our lawyers handle negligence and malpractice claims against Maryland hospitals. Hospitals in Maryland are entrusted with our care when we go to the emergency room, are undergoing surgery, or recovering from an illness. Too often a mistake is made that causes serious injury or someone's life.

       Patient care cannot be expected to be perfect and there is no question that there can be a bumpy ride at even the best of hospitals. But there are minimial standards of care that every hospital must meet. Hospitals are required to meet these standards of care and adhere to certain policies and procedures to ensure the health and well-being of their patients. Hospitals have to make sure that the doctors who practice under their umbrella are licensed and otherwise qualified to do so.

       From a practical standpoint, it is worth noting that a medical malpractice fight is easier against a hospital or a non-doctor health care provider (such as nurses, technicians, etc.) than against a doctor. Why? Because juries in Maryland are more willing to believe that a non-doctor health care provider could make an error causing a serious injury than they are that a doctor could make such an error.

       At Miller & Zois, our hospital malpractice lawyers understand how to find out what happened. Our lawyers challenge hospitals to explain why the hospital did what they did. Our hospital negligence lawyers identify violations of the hospital's policy and regulations (or what should have been the hospital's policy or procedure). Our lawyers inquire about the hospital's duty to review the qualifications of their doctors to ensure that only qualified physicians practice within the hospital's walls (negligent credentialing).

       While you are reading this text, somewhere a good doctor is saving someone's life in a hospital. We should all be grateful to that hospital and to those health care providers. Here in Maryland, we are blessed to have two hospitals that are among the best in the entire world right in Baltimore: Johns Hopkins and the University Hospital (University of Maryland). But even at these incredible hospitals and other Maryland hospitals such as Suburban Hospital, Holy Cross Hospital, Prince George's Hospital Center, Franklin Square Hospital, Baltimore-
Washington Hospital and Mercy Hospital, mistakes are made. If we make mistakes we should be held accountable for those mistakes if they hurt someone else; in that respect, hospitals are just like all of us.
