Injuries caused by medical malpractice are often unexpected, devastating, and costly. In addition, the issues involving medical malpractice are complex.
In order to appropriately pursue medical malpractice cases, it is important to understand both the legal and medical issues involved.
That is why you need a Baltimore medical malpractice lawyer with extensive medical malpractice experience who can give your case the attention it needs.
Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Case?
Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex, but getting compensation for your injuries is not impossible.
First, the injured patient must show that a healthcare provider acted negligently in rendering care and that the negligence resulted in injury.
At Baird Mandalas Brockstedt & Federico, our team handles cases involving:
- ER negligence
- Birth injury

- Erb’s palsy

- Brain injury
- Hospital Malpractice
- Wrongful death

What Can I Recover for My Injuries?
Monetary damages can include both economic loss and noneconomic losses. Examples of economic loss are past and future medical expenses and related care as well as lost wages.
Noneconomic damages include pain and suffering, mental anguish and grief.
With regard to non-economic damages, the Maryland Legislature has limited the amount plaintiffs can receive in medical malpractice cases.
The amount of the “cap” on noneconomic damages depends upon when the medical malpractice occurred.
How Long Do I Have to File a Medical Malpractice Claim?
Statutes of limitations are deadlines in which to file lawsuits. The failure to file a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations can be a complete bar to recovery.
In order to keep your claim from being rejected, reach out to an experienced medical malpractice lawyer at Baird Mandalas Brockstedt & Federico in Baltimore, Maryland as soon as possible.
