On this site, our Maryland medical malpractice lawyers have summaries of all medical malpractice lawsuits that were filed in Maryland in 2017, 2018 and 2019. These summaries are based on claims filed with the Health Care Alternative Dispute Resolution Office (HCADRO). Before filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in Maryland Circuit Court, Maryland law requires all plaintiffs to initially file their case with HCADRO. This HCADRO filing is basically a mandatory prerequisite to filing the malpractice case in court. The case summaries indexed below are draw directly from new claim filings in the HCADRO. The HCADRO claims contain all the same basic information and allegations that are found in a civil complaint that gets filed in court.
This information is of greatest use to other medical malpractice lawyers. It is extremely educational for us to follow these cases and see the types of malpractice lawsuits that are being filed throughout Maryland. Hopefully, you find it of use as well. Many of these cases have links and more information about the nuances of these particular types of claim. We give details about the about the allegations and then dive into the science and medicine of the claim. We name hospitals and individual medical practices because we believe in transparency. This information should be readily accessible to the public. Our Maryland medical malpractice attorneys do draw the line at naming individual doctor. We just do not want to drag an individual's name into it based on allegations in a lawsuit.
